Berkshire Pride Announces Rainbow Guitar Raffle Fundraiser

NORTH ADAMS, Mass.— Berkshire Pride has launched a fundraising raffle featuring a handcrafted acoustic rainbow guitar.

The instrument was created and donated by Nick Lenski of Brier Road Guitars and Berkshire Stringed Instruments, located in North Adams.

The rainbow design of the guitar symbolizes inclusion and diversity within the LGBTQ+ community, and its creation represents local artistry.

Proceeds from ticket sales will support Berkshire Pride’s year-round programming, including advocacy, events, education, and community support initiatives throughout the Berkshires.

Cass Santos-China, Berkshire Pride’s Executive Director, expressed gratitude to Nick Lenski for his donation and highlighted the raffle as an opportunity for community members to support the organization’s mission while celebrating local craftsmanship.

The guitar will be displayed at upcoming Berkshire Pride events: NextGen Pride on May 25, the Pride Festival on June 7, Lee Pride on June 14, North Adams Pride on June 20, and Berkshire Busk on June 28.

The raffle winner will be selected in July.
