In every community there are organizations, events, and individuals who make a difference in the lives of their members. Be it providing an outstanding educational opportunity, raising much-needed money for local charities, or helping with set-up and tear-down, these groups and individuals are essential to creating a vibrant and active community.
 
 
The North Carolina Leather Pride Award was established in 2008 in order to recognize the often thankless efforts behind the activities of these groups and events offered to our community. Given annually, the North Carolina Leather Pride Award is presented to the group, event, or individual who demonstrates extraordinary commitment to the North Carolina Leather/BDSM/Fetish community.
