How It Works
Your Impact

By taking part in the Marilyn 100 Record-Breaking event, you will help raise vital funds for programs and support for the Coachella Valley's 40-year-old Pride organization.
​
Marilyn Monroe wasn’t just an icon of glamour; she was a bold advocate for authenticity, compassion, and standing with marginalized communities before it was safe to do so.​​
​
Marilyn 100 honors that legacy by celebrating love, visibility, and belonging, values that the City of Palm Springs proudly reinforces.
​
Supporting one another and combating hate takes a unified community. Allies are significantly important to a unified community. Marilyn Monroe was an ally of the marginalized, and with your fabulous support as a '50s bombshell, we will honor her legacy and foster Pride in and respect for LGBTQ communities locally and globally.
“We are all born sexual creatures.
It’s a pity so many people despise and
crush this natural gift.”
—Marilyn Monroe
