The Hudson Pride Foundation provides under-graduate grants & scholarships to meritorious students in Columbia County, NY who are marginalized due to sexual orientation, gender identity or gender expression as well as students who have demonstrated a real commitment to promoting & supporting LGBT equal rights.
The HPF scholarship award was created as a way to reward community involvement and encourage Columbia County students to pursue a college education.
The Hudson Pride Foundation sponsored the first annual LOVE BALL on Saturday, February 11, 2012, at the wonderful Club Helsinki, Hudson.
Two couples were married, Rob Bujan and Jeffrey Perrry as well as Jutta Martin and Brian Sullivan. The new Hudson mayor, Mayor William Hallenbeck officiated the ceremonies.
Over a dozen volunteers spent all day decorating Club Helsinki. The event had live performances by Ophelia Nightly, Cocoa Channel, and Lady Moon. The Silent Auction raised enough money for the Hudson Pride Foundation's rent on its new space for the next year!
The Hudson Pride Foundation would like to thank the HPF board, all of the volunteers, Club Helsinki, Mayor Hallenbeck, Lady Moon, The Charmed and Dangerous singers, Jeanne Cameron, Irene’s Bakery, all of the vendors that tabled, Roy Volkman, DJ Rob, the local merchants of Hudson, the continues support of a loving community, and the two happy couples, Rob & Jeff, and Jutta & Brian!

Born in 2010, The Hudson Pride Foundation is Columbia County's very first and only LGBT organization.
Supported & staffed by volunteers, the HPF aims to foster awareness of LGBT issues, work for equality, be a positive resource for the community, and award scholarships to Columbia County high school seniors for college tuition.
The Hudson Pride Foundation hosts various events throughout the year, most notably being our annual Hudson Pride Parade & Festival, the 3rd weekend in June in Hudson, NY.
