Greetings Athletes!
Welcome to The Pride Cup here in Orange County, Florida. We are honored to have you join
us for this exciting event, presented by the KindRED Pride Foundation.
Sports unite people from all walks of life, creating connections that go beyond the competition. We
are proud to support visiting athletes and recognize the positive impact they have on our economy
and community spirit. As a premier destination for sports and tourism, Orange County continues to
shine as one of the nation’s top places to visit and compete.
While many know us for our world-famous theme parks, award-winning convention center, and
diverse culinary scene featuring MICHELIN-recognized dining, there is much more that defines our
community. At our core, we are strengthened by collaboration among our public institutions, the
private sector, and nonprofit partners. Together, we work to build a welcoming environment and
opportunity for all. We stand firmly against hate and remain dedicated to ensuring every individual
and business is treated with dignity and respect.
On behalf of the more than 1.5 million residents who call Orange County home, we value the time
you spend in our community. Whether you’re a lifelong resident or visiting for the very first time,
we hope your experience is both enjoyable and memorable.
Thank you for being part of The Pride Cup, and I wish you all the best during these games.
Sincerely,
Jerry L. Demings
Orange County Mayor
