Support Area LGBTQ+
Sponsoring Pride Month events places your organization directly in front of area LGBTQIA+, their families and their allies.
We welcome the support of community organizations, businesses and others who wish to sponsor Pride Week events.
Please read the sponsorship information below fill out the form to inform us of how you would like to contribute and at which level.
Dear Prospective Sponsor,
As we embark on a new year, PRIDE Corpus Christi, now in its 8th year, remains steadfast in our commitment to uplifting and supporting over 14,000 LGBTQIA+ individuals and their families in the Coastal Bend region. Your support, through financial contributions or in-kind donations, is a vital part of our mission to foster diversity and build equity for marginalized communities.
2023 was a landmark year for PRIDE Corpus Christi. We proudly expanded our Pride Month events, which significantly enhanced our LGBTQ+ and Ally community engagement within our city and Coastal Bend region. Our Pride Parade, held on October 7, 2023, showcased an impressive array of local drag and diva entertainment along with local musicians, parent organizations, supportive religious entities, marchers representing diverse sectors such as the oil and gas industry, and many more! With over 60 vendors featured at our Block Party, including the Human Rights Campaign and Equality Texas, we have built a strong foundation for continued growth and outreach.
Looking ahead to 2024, while embracing exciting new ventures, we are committed to maintaining and enhancing our hallmark events. This year, we are excited to focus on these key programs:
Continuation and Enhancement of Pride Month Events and Parade
We are dedicated to hosting and improving our annual Pride Month events in June, culminating in the Pride Parade and Block Party on October 5, 2024. These events will continue to be a focal point of our efforts, celebrating our community’s diversity and resilience. We also plan to further our presence year round at community events like ArtWalk in downtown Corpus Christi.
Unity 89.1 FM
Our groundbreaking FM station will broadcast LGBTQIA+ progressive content focused on overall wellness and economic vitality. Our diverse programming will cover education, employment opportunities, HIV and STI education, and feature voices from the community in local arts and entertainment. We will also broadcast inclusive sermons on Sundays from churches like St. Paul United Church of Christ and All Saints Episcopal.
Voter Registration and Advocacy
In response to recent anti-LGBT legislation in Texas, we are intensifying our voter registration and advocacy efforts. Our ‘Get Out the Vote’ campaign will be expanded beyond bus bench reminders in order to actively engage and inform our Coastal Bend community about the continuous efforts some of our legislators & local politicians sought to do in 2023 to reduce the visibility of the LGBTQ+ community and hinder our development. We will also share which political leaders have protected the LGBTQ+ community, showing our gratitude and support for those who work hard to protect the interests of all LGBTQ+ citizens.
Small Business and Community Initiatives
Your support enables us to extend our reach even further. Continuing our efforts to support our LGBTQ+ community, including free HIV testing, we aim to implement small business grants, fostering successful LGBTQIA+ businesses and enhancing the quality of life in Corpus Christi. We also plan on bringing national LGBTQIA+ history to our community through traveling exhibits and performances.
Our diverse board of directors, now composed of 14 individuals from various backgrounds, will proudly acknowledge your sponsorship annually in all promotional materials, including our website, event programs, Pride shirts, and on Unity 89.1 FM, with priority airtime based on your level of support. Opportunities for your employees to engage in our events and initiatives are also welcomed.
Join us in empowering and elevating the LGBTQIA+ community in South Texas. For more details or to discuss unique sponsorship opportunities, please contact us at sponsorship@pridecorpuschristi.com. Thank you for considering this opportunity. Together, we can create a lasting impact.
