A Message from The Founders

April 20, 2026

To Our Community,

After much reflection and with full hearts, we want to share that we will be stepping down from our official roles of support at the Queer Wellness Center, effective May 1, 2026.

What began as a simple but deeply held vision: to create a space rooted in affirmation, care, and belonging has grown into something far greater than we ever imagined. It has become a living, breathing community. Every conversation, every moment of vulnerability, every act of care has helped shape 864Pride and then the Queer Wellness Center into what it is today. We are continually moved by the trust you placed in us, especially in those early days, and by the many hands and hearts that continue to carry this work forward.

This community has always been, and will always be, the true foundation of the Queer Wellness Center. You are its spirit, its resilience, and its purpose.

As we step into this transition, we do so with genuine excitement and deep peace. The organization is in a place of strength and clarity, guided by a Board whose dedication and vision inspire us. We have full confidence that the Center will continue to grow in ways that are thoughtful, expansive, and rooted in care. Truly, we believe the most meaningful chapters are still to come.

Being part of building this space alongside all of you has been one of the greatest honors of our lives. We carry immense gratitude for every story shared, every challenge navigated together, and every moment of connection that made this work so meaningful.

Thank you for showing up, for believing in this vision, and for helping create something that will continue to support and uplift so many.

We will continue our support and service to the Board through the end of May 2026 to support a smooth and successful transition. We look forward to updating the community soon.

With excitement for the future,

Elizabeth Serricchio and Laura Davis
Founders of 864Pride/Queer Wellness Center
