NWA
Pride is pleased to announce Chris Hannon as Grand
Marshal for NWA Pride Parade 2008
Chris
Hannon is an unsung hero in the Northwest Arkansas GLBT
Community. He works tirelessly for the
Northwest Arkansas GLBT Community Center through the
NWA Positive Links Buddy Program and as a board member.
Chris started the Buddy Program from the ground up in
August 2006 as a peer to peer support group for people
who are living with HIV and AIDS. The Buddy Program,
beyond peer to peer support, provides members with the
latest information on HIV and AIDS, food bank, help with
chores, transportation, friendship, communication,
personal visits and other resources for living a
positive life. A 25 year survivor of HIV himself, Chris
demonstrates what can be done with a positive attitude.
So with an unanimous vote, it is our
greatest pleasure to select Chris Hannon as our Grand
Marshal for the 2008 NWA Pride Parade on June 28th,
2008.
