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.

WHERE: The event will be available to stream on iHeartRadio’s YouTube and Facebook pages, Revry, and The Advocate Channel on June 12 at 8 p.m. ET / 5 p.m. PT.
