ROY G. BIV + LGBT
Saturday Brooklyn Pride (brooklynpride.org) in Prospect Park will kick start a day of revelry, leading up to the nighttime parade on 7th Ave. and after parties on 5th. Dads will have to vie for attention during the Grand Army Plaza Greenmarket’s Father’s Day Strawberry Shortcake Eating Contest. Wonder who’s going to have more fun that day…

Benefits
Dine at Fort Greene’s Madiba on Thursday, June 19 to help build a South African community center that will house microbusinesses, art, HIV/AIDS healthcare, and education for families of the women’s beadworking collective Monkeybiz. After your three-course meal, a movie and music stretch your $50 contribution even further. madibarestaurant.com

A stiff, $20-an-hour fee has made Greenpoint’s St. Cecilia’s gym too expensive for neighborhood kids, like the On Point Cyclones (pictured). To help fund their practices or brainstorm ways to fundraise, Greenpointers lists the ways.
