Last Chance to Use Your Codes for PFLAG Swag

Last call to use your $200 credit AND get 50% off on additional items in the PFLAG Chapter Leader-Only Swag Shop at chapterswag.pflag.org.

Here’s how it works:

1. For the $200 credit: You’ll use your unique PFLAG Chapter ID as your code at checkout. We’ve made a visual walkthrough to help you find it, or contact your Chapter Engagement staffer for support. 

   1. Once you locate your code, connect with your fellow chapter board members, visit the shop, make your decisions about what items you’d like, then place your order using your PFLAG Chapter ID to get that $200 off. 

   2. It is very important that you enter your discount code during checkout to receive the $200 off. If you fail to use that code to place your order, we will work with our providers to get you a refund; however, we will deduct from that refund the charges incurred from having to re-add the code—which are 2.9% of the order total, plus $0.30. 

2. For the 50% off: Use the code Pride2025. This code can be used on any additional orders between now and June 30th. This code CANNOT be applied to the initial order using your $200 credit. 

3. You can only use ONE code per order. Not ready to spend your full $200 yet? Consider getting yourself started with a few bulk items at 50% off, then come back to make your big order with that $200 credit.

4. When you place ANY order, tell us in the section called “Leave a Note With Your Order” your chapter name and when your soonest event is; our team will do its best to prioritize events that are earlier (for example, our Florida chapters who celebrate Pride in March!).

Both codes expire on June 30, 2025, AND THERE WILL BE NO EXTENSIONS TO USE THESE. Shipping times might be slightly longer given the anticipated volume of orders—any items noted as PRE-ORDER are in the process of being restocked. Do not anticipate receiving these before the end of June.

If you need assistance, please contact the team at branding@pflag.org; someone will follow up with you within 48 hours.

Early Bird Convention Registration Ends in ONE WEEK

Get early bird rates now, before they fly the coop on July 1st, for Learning With Love: The 2025 PFLAG National Convention.

Through workshops, panels, and presentations from PFLAG National staff, chapter leaders, organizers, and community leaders, we’ll provide insight, expertise, training, strategies, and best practices so that we can continue our work to create a caring, just, and affirming world for LGBTQ+ people and those who love them. Hotel information and a link to book your room will be provided in your registration confirmation.

Visit pflag.org/2025convention to register today! 

PLUS…We are thrilled to announce the inaugural Compassion in Action: The PFLAG Chapter Leader Institute, happening on Friday, October 10th from 9:00 - 11:50 AM. Space will be limited to the first 75 participants who register. Therefore, in addition to registering quickly, we ask that you limit attendance to no more than two (2) board members per chapter. Attendance is included as part of your convention registration, so you must be registered to attend Learning With Love in order to participate. 

To sign up, register for Learning With Love, and answer yes to the question “Are you a part of a local chapter?” We will reach out later this summer to circulate sign ups and additional information. If you have already registered for Learning With Love and would like to sign up to receive information about Compassion in Action, please reach out to Chapter Engagement staffer Ruadhan Ward at rward@pflag.org. 

We can’t wait to be with you in person, in courageous love—and in community.
