PRIDE ST. LOUIS, INC. 2018LOCAL PARTNERSHIP PACKET

DOWNTOWN ST. LOUIS’ LARGEST FESTIVAL AND PARADE FOR 2017JUNE 22 – 24, 2018


The Board of Pride St. Louis is honored to present to you the 2018 Corporate Sponsorship Packet and look forward to working with you as we bring together our friends, family, co-workers and your valuable employees for one of the largest PrideFest celebrations in the Midwest! As we celebrated our 2017 Festival theme “Community Proud”, dozens of community leaders, partner not-for-profits and Sponsor representatives led off the Mallinckrodt Grand Pride Parade with Grand Marshal Cleve Jones, legendary LGBT rights activist and founder of one of the worlds most endearing images, The NAMES Project (otherwise known as The AIDS Quilt).

2017 continued Pride St. Louis’ dedication to bridge the gap of services since our last LGBT Center closed its doors in 2015. The PrideCenter of St. Louis is honored to operate the only LGBTQIA+ center in the region, located within, and as a program of, Pride St. Louis, Inc. Through the creation of a safer space for people in the community, we hope to expand our role as a community based leader. In the Fall of 2017 PrideCenter St. Louis announced a first of its kind collaboration with Avers, the LGBT Center in Samara, Russia.

Now 5 years removed from our move to Downtown, PrideFest represents one of the greatest event success stories with 2017 attendance reaching nearly 300,000 guests, an over 500% increase since before the move.

A sold-out vendor space, parade and VIP Experience, an expanded Children’s Area, and the City’s most notable buildings adorned with rainbow lights helped bring attention to the Festival and our sponsoring brands and logos.

For 39 years, Pride St. Louis has been working to raise acceptance and understanding of Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender individuals in our community as we celebrate together with our allies. We are a community based, completely volunteer driven, 501 (c) 3 organization where diversity can be celebrated believing in a world where prejudice can be eliminated.

MEDIA STATISTICS
