He formed a <a href="Nonprofit_organization" title="Nonprofit organization">nonprofit</a> called Disability Pride NYC, Inc. (DPNYC) in 2014.

Some seed money for the parade was raised from a Jazz concert called Jazz Legends Play For Disability Pride put on by LeDonne in which many Jazz musicians donated their talent for the night. Almost 4,000 people showed up for the first parade, which culminated with a celebration featuring the talents of the disability community. <a href="Tom_Harkin" title="Tom Harkin">Tom Harkin</a> and Mary LeDonne (daughter of Mike LeDonne, Founder/President of Disability Pride NYC ) were its <a href="Grand_Marshal_(parade_dignitary)" class="mw-redirect" title="Grand Marshal (parade dignitary)">grand marshals</a>.<sup id="cite_ref-55" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-55"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>55<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>

Jenny posted on Facebook about the incident along with the final line of text "Disability Pride anyone?" The Facebook post went viral and was then picked up by the media. After receiving hundreds of messages from other disabled people who had experienced similar incidents, she decided to proceed with the idea. A year later in 2017 the first Disability Pride Brighton festival was held on New Road in Brighton with an attendance of approximately 2000 people.<sup id="cite_ref-58" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-58"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>58<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Held every year since 2017, Disability Pride Brighton is a free event.

<p>Disability Pride has a flag created by Ann Magill and entered into the public domain in 2019.<sup id="cite_ref-:7_1-6" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-:7-1"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-:6_65-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-:6-65"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>65<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Magill's original flag featured a lightning bolt design and bright colors on a black background. The flag was redesigned in 2021 with muted colors and straight stripes in response to feedback from those with visually triggered disabilities. The new design limits the strobe effect created by the lightning bolt to be more visually safe for those with migraines and visually triggered seizures. The color brightness changes make the flag more accessible to those with color blindness.<sup id="cite_ref-66" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-66"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>66<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> The new flag comprises a number of different elements, each symbolising different aspects of the disability experience. The coloured stripes are placed diagonally across the flag to show how disabled people have to cut across barriers in society.<sup id="cite_ref-:7_1-7" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-:7-1"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>
