DeLand Pride is a 501(c)3 Nonprofit Corporation run by a team of volunteer staff. And with a mission is to attract LGBTQ members and their allies to the community by nurturing professional and personal relationships and providing an active and positive force in Volusia County and beyond.
DeLand Pride was founded by Dagny Robertson in the wake of the Orlando Pulse Shooting in June of 2016.
Dagny and her husband, Tom, have 2 sons that they extremely proud of. Their youngest son came out as gay as a teenager and lost several friends in the Pulse shooting. His entire family supported him when he came out but it was still very hard for him to just be himself and not be afraid of what might happen.
After the Pulse shooting Dagny saw the entire world supporting the LGBTQ community and decided it was the right time to show support and acceptance for the diverse community of DeLand.
Dagny began working with existing LGBTQ Pride groups in the area, including Collective Cares DeLand, to foster the sense of acceptance and well being in the DeLand community and develop a network of safe spaces where everyone could be themselves without fear.
They are proud to be able to call Abbey Bar in Downtown DeLand home. They have given the community a safe and welcoming place to gather, celebrate, grow, and further cement roots in Volusia County.
