Happy Pride! Don’t Rush Challenge

This year, we remember the beginning. Pride started as a riot against police brutality, led by the LGBTQ+ people of color. To honor their legacy, we’ve partnered with the Los Angeles LGBT Center, which provides health care, housing, education, and other services for more LGBTQ+ people than any other organization in the world, all of which are available for free or at low cost. We’ve also developed an exclusive Rainbow Bouq that celebrates love in all its forms. For each one sold in June, we are donating 20% of the purchase price to the Los Angeles LGBT Center. This Bouq was used to bring together members of the LGBTQ+ community through our Don’t Rush Challenge, proving that even when we can’t be together in person, we can still celebrate #Pride side by side Check out these champions within the LGBTQ+ community pass the bouq and celebrate love the best way we know how: with flowers, of course! View this post on Instagram   A post shared by The Bouqs Company (@thebouqsco) on Jun 19, 2020 at 8:38am PDT Want to know what pride means to the incredible LGBTQ+ people who participated in our Don’t Rush Challenge?
