Money raised will go towards a pride week that will be hosted in September.

MACON, Georgia(41NBC/WMGT)— As Pride month comes to an end, Macon Pride rallied the support of local businesses. 36 Businesses partnered with the organization to donate 10% of their sales to Macon Pride.

Money raised will go towards a pride week that will be hosted in September.

Scott Mitchell, President of the organization, says he’s thankful for all the businesses that are participating.

“Macon pride is a celebration of people who have been historically excluded from the community, it’s a time to show visibility, it’s a time to show that we care about all people here,” said Mitchell.

The sales last all day Tuesday, at local restaurants and shops in the Macon area.
