The Black, Gay and Proud Pride (BGP) Committee would like to take this opportunity to thank you for your interest in sponsorship of BGP’s Tenth AnniversaryPride Celebration.  Because BGP hosts Ohio’s only pride celebration that focuses on the community of color, we can offer you and your business or organization many unique opportunities to reach a more diverse LGBT community. 

For 10 years the BGP Committee has organized an assortment of events highlighting the intellectual, spiritual, artistic, and political facets of our lives.  BGP’s celebrations focus on fostering unity within the LGBT and communities of color. This year’s planning is well underway with an exciting list of events including a three hour Dinner-Dance aboard the Nautica Queen, a Jazz, Poetry and Artist Showcase and our signature event, The White Fantasia.                                                                                                         

We ask you to consider supporting our efforts with a financial contribution of any kind.  This contribution will allow you as a sponsor to have a unique opportunity to reach hundreds within the LGBT community through strategic advertisement placement during events and in publications. Between now and June, we need to raise enough funds so that we may secure speakers, entertainers, venues, equipment and produce advertisement materials for distribution.  We believe that BGP Pride Celebration will have a positive effect on the quality of community, but we need your help to make it happen. Donations and  sponsorships are handled through the AIDS task force of Greater Cleveland.
