Welcome to the Hawthorne Pride Alliance website which is designed to keep the community informed of the activities that the HPA ("Hawthorne Pride Alliance") does to encourage understanding and inclusivity within the community. The Hawthorne Pride Alliance was developed to dedicate, to motivate, and to celebrate the members of the LGBTQ+ community and their allies. The Hawthorne Pride Alliance is an independent organization and it is not affiliated, nor shall it be affiliated or endorsed by any political party, religious group, or governmental agency. The President, Vice President, and members in good standing will fill the Alliance in a non-partisan manner choosing residents who want to work to bridge the gap between the LGBTQ+ community and the community at large. Through education, visibility, and presence, the Hawthorne Pride Alliance will work together with members of the LGBTQ+ community, and their allies, in a nonpartisan manner to educate, motivate, appreciate, elevate, dedicate, and inspire the LGBTQ+ community. 

After thoughtful discussion and careful consideration, we have decided to merge with the Pride Alliance of Passaic County. This transition will allow us to strengthen our impact, expand our outreach, and better serve the LGBTQ+ community. 

Effective March 5, 2025, all information regarding the Hawthorne Pride Alliance (HPA) will be available on the Pride Alliance of Passaic County website. We look forward to continuing our mission under this unified organization and appreciate your ongoing support.



HPA is a 501(c)(3)nonprofit organization that is run entirely by volunteers.
