Join us as we kick-off PRIDE month in grand fashion with a happy hour at Punky’s Bar and Grill, Thursday May 26th from 5pm–8pm.

Come enjoy an evening with friends while supporting METRO’s commitment to our LGBT community for the past 20+ years. With the recent purchase of the St. Petersburg location building, METRO now needs the community’s support in raising the funds to complete required renovations to update the building and expand essential services.

To help us kick off a month-long community awareness campaign, our friends at Punky’s have graciously agreed to donate 10% of all food and drinks purchased between the hours of 5pm and 8pm. So please grab your partner, friends and family and join us for a fun-filled evening as you help us with the purchase and immediate needs for our building. See you there!
