Pride Sponsorship 2009

April 9, 2009

Dear Friend:

I am writing you today on behalf of the Duluth-Superior GLBTAQI Pride Committee seeking your support and sponsorship of the 2009 Duluth-Superior GLBTAQI Pride Festival September 3 through September 6, 2009.

The 23rd annual Duluth/Superior GLBT Pride Festival will be the largest event of its kind in Minnesota outside of Minneapolis/St. Paul. The 4-day celebration is filled with art exhibits, musical concerts, educational opportunities, and fun for nearly 10,000 and residents. And we are pleased to announce that RuPaul will be our headline entertainment at this year’s festival.

WHY SPONSOR AND SUPPORT PRIDE?

You might be asking yourself, “Why support this event?”

First, you are supporting a 501(c)3 non-profit organization based in the Twin Ports – with the money raised benefiting people right here in Northern Minnesota and Wisconsin.

From a business perspective, it just makes sense. With over 10,000 people attending Pride 2009 (both local residents as well as visitors from all over Minnesota and Wisconsin) you want Pride participants to be your customers.

The Duluth-Superior Pride Festival has become a mainstream event in the region and is supported by the City of Duluth, the Duluth Area Chamber of Commerce, the Minnesota Ballet, Saint Louis County, the Duluth Art Institute, and dozens of other local and regional businesses.

The bottom line is this: Our festival participants will be your loyal customers.

The attached 2009 Pride Sponsorship Packet outlines what you receive for your sponsorship investment. With various sponsorship levels available, you are sure to find one that fits your business.

I look forward to speaking with you in the coming weeks about your possible partnership with the 2009 Duluth-Superior Pride Festival.


Thank you for your consideration.
