Spirit of Stonewall Awards

The San Diego Pride Awards, popularly known as the Spirit of Stonewall Awards, are presented annually by the San Diego LGBT Pride Board of Directors to recognize individuals and organizations who contribute to the LGBT community through their leadership, activism and fundraising efforts. The formal ceremony at which the awards are presented has become a "Who's Who" event during Pride Month. The annual award ceremonies will be held on Monday, July 13, 2009, at the Hilton Bayfront in Downtown San Diego. Award recipients also ride in the Pride parade which starts at 11:00am on Saturday, July 18, 2009.

Each year the Pride organization invites the community to submit nominations for the prestigious community awards which are presented in four categories for individual community service, group or organization service to the community, Champion of Pride and the Friend of the Year.

Award recipients will be announced each month leading up to the Pride Month Celebrations this July.

In addition to the Spirit of Stonewall Awards, the San Diego Pride organization also honors long-partnered couples as Inspirational Couples and Grand Marshals of the Pride Parade.
