About & Mission
PRIDE & JOY is a private-preview SPARK Network prototype developed with Haddon Township Equity Initiative and HT Pride. It imagines a fictional almost-anytown where neighbors organize a Pride celebration that is joyful, queer-led, community-wide, ally-powered, and grounded in history.
The first playable slice focuses on a simple Joy Ripple: advocate for a date, place a stage, choose a music vibe, welcome passersby, build trust, and meet an organizer who connects celebration to Pride history, care, allyship, and action.
This prototype is not an official Haddon Township service, event registration system, emergency resource, therapy or mental health service, school or municipal policy guide, legal guidance, or real-world event safety plan. Real event participation, volunteering, donations, and civic questions should happen through HTEI, HT Pride, and the appropriate public resources.
Support
HTEI and HT Pride are doing the real community work this game is inspired by: creating belonging, supporting historically marginalized neighbors, and making Pride a moment of celebration, visibility, safety, freedom, and joy.
