About NHC

Our Community
Set along the banks of the scenic Delaware River, New Hope offers unique shopping; theater; historic barge, train and horse-drawn carriage rides; museums, art galleries and antique shops; fine restaurants and casual fare. Home of the famed Bucks County Playhouse (where stars like Liza Minnelli, Grace Kelly and Robert Redford launched their careers!) and the historic cabaret Odette’s, New Hope’s nightlife is filled with live entertainment spots, dance clubs and piano bars where people of all genders and cultures mingle and mix with common respect and acceptance.

Our Beneficiaries
NHC raises money for important charitable organizations such as the Human Rights Campaign, Fighting AIDS Continuously Together (FACT Bucks County) and the Rainbow Room, a youth center of Planned Parenthood Association of Bucks County.

2008 Recipients of NHC & Legacy Fund Grants Are:

• THE TREVOR PROJECT
• THE WILLIAM WAY COMMUNITY CENTER
• PHILADELPHIA FIGHT
• FACT BUCKS COUNTY
• Planned Parenthood’s “RAINBOW ROOM”

These recipients were chosen from a group of over ### applications. Our Grant Committee, along with assistance from The Delaware Valley Legacy Fund, screened the applications, which were based and rated on certain LGBTA criteria and community involvement.

The lists of applicants were exceptional & all of them had great merit in their ability to provide services to the community. Organizations were awarded the Grants based on current & potential service to the New Hope & surrounding areas and we are PROUD to be able to have them as part of our Celebration. Please visit their Web Sites & see the much-needed services that they perform for the communities that they work with. By your participation in our events, New Hope Celebrates will be able to annually offer, community-based organizations, future Grants. ALSO visit our web site periodically for upcoming events that will give our LGBTA Community & Friends QUALITY PROGRAMS throughout the year.

Our Pride Weekend
Offering something for everybody, NHC hosts an ambitious pride weekend each May featuring local and nationally-known performers, an information expo, DJ dance parties, softball games, family fun and children’s activities and Our Annual Pride Parade live on main street.
