Pride Breakfast 2022! In Person @ Community Foundation for Southern Arizona

Remember! Preregistration required, no walk-ins.

We are back for Pride! And we are thrilled to host Gary & Dan Ross, owners of Mobility Plus Tucson and veterans who were instrumental fighting for equality in the military. When Navy Lt. Gary Ross and his partner Dan were married at the first possible moment after the formal repeal of the military's "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" policy, making them the first legally married same-sex couple in the military. Unfortunately, then Gary stopped getting promoted at Fort Huachuca, which he wasn’t going to stand for. Come hear the story of how Gary and Dan stood up for love and  justice and won. You can read more about Gary and Dan here and here. 

June is also our official Chamber Foundation update & fundraiser, and our sister organization has secured a $6000 match for any donations made to Tucson’s LGBT students at the UofA during our breakfast!

Wear your best pride gear for a chance to win a door prize. The Chamber has goodies to give away, and bringing your own prize is a great way to get a moment of facetime in front of our sparkling audience. We can’t wait to see and celebrate with you!

Our gratitude goes out to this month's breakfast sponsor, Pride Guide Arizona, who offers special rates for Gaymber members! Ask Michael all about it at breakfast.

ABOUT GARY & DAN

Gary and Dan Ross are no strangers to mobility challenges. Gary injured his back while on active duty and underwent back surgery in 2010. While the surgery was a success, Gary routinely suffers from low back pain and spasms, which often require the use of a mobility device. Gary’s mother was diagnosed with Parkinson’s Disease and Dan’s mother required two knee replacement surgeries. These experiences led to the realization that there was a huge need for local mobility stores across the United States with trained mobility consultants who understand mobility challenges and can offer mobility solutions.

After researching business opportunities for over a year, Gary and Dan decided to open several Mobility Plus franchises in the Tucson area where you can get your scooter or powerchair batteries tested for free, talk to friendly mobility consultants about your unique challenges, rent mobility equipment for short-term solutions, purchase mobility equipment for long-term solutions, and receive quality service and repairs by trained technicians.

"We exist to improve lives," says Gary Ross, Mobility Consultant and Co-Owner of Mobility Plus Oro Valley. "Maintaining your independence while aging in place is what we aim to offer all of our clients," says Dan Ross, Mobility Consultant and Co-Owner of Mobility Plus Oro Valley.
