iHeartMedia and P&G Announce Fifth Annual Can’t Cancel Pride Will Stream on June 12

Recognizing the Influence of Music and Supporting Impactful LGBTQ+ Organizations

WHAT:          iHeartMedia and P&G will once again join forces during Pride Month for the return of Can’t Cancel Pride - an evening recognizing the impact of music and the impact that LGBTQ+ organizations continue to have on the community. The special event will feature performances from some of today’s hottest artists and appearances from influential voices in the LGBTQ+ community, and will be available to stream on June 12.

Can’t Cancel Pride was created as a culminating event to celebrate the people and organizations demonstrating a continued commitment to advancing LGBTQ+ equality. The event recognizes the trailblazers creating positive change across different areas of society while providing much needed visibility and funding for six LGBTQ+ organizations – CenterLink, GLAAD, National Black Justice Coalition, OutRight International, The Trevor Project and SAGE –  to continue the transformative work they are accomplishing in support of the LGBTQ+ community. Now in its fifth year, the event will celebrate the profound impact of music, a unifying force that can drive society toward more equality and acceptance for all.

Stay tuned for full details, including the Can’t Cancel Pride performance lineup, in the coming weeks.
