2026 River City Pride Festival & Parade - Friends of Pride Sponsorship

River City Pride was founded in 2018 to serve the LGBTQIA+ community in the Evansville Region. We are excited to invite your company to join us as a corporate sponsor for our upcoming Pride Festival &amp; Parade scheduled on June 6, 2026 &ndash; one of the Region&rsquo;s most vibrant celebrations of unity, visibility, and love that embodies our mission to unite, educate, and serve the LGBTQIA+ community. Today across the nation and here in Indiana, the LGBTQIA+ community is facing both progress and powerful push back. Conversations around equality and inclusion are more important than ever, where Pride stands as both a celebration and a call to action. In these defining moments, River City Pride continues to stand proudly for what we believe in with strength, resilience, love, and purpose. In a world that needs light, Pride continues to shine brighter than ever. Your organization&rsquo;s support demonstrates a meaningful commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion &ndash; not just in words, but in impact. This isn&rsquo;t just another event. It&rsquo;s a statement. A gathering of thousands who refuse to let fear silence Pride, and who believe that compassion and courage can move communities forward &ndash; its voices, families, and allies coming together to say loudly and proudly that everyone deserves to live and love freely. When your company sponsors Pride, you do more than put your logo on a banner &ndash; you stand for something bigger. You show your employees, customers, and community that your brand leads with purpose and believes in a world where authenticity is celebrated, not hidden. When your company sponsors Pride, you&rsquo;re not just supporting a day of celebration &ndash; you&rsquo;re investing in hope, equality, and the power of inclusion. That&rsquo;s why we&rsquo;re inviting your company to stand with us as a corporate sponsor. Your sponsorship directly fuels this movement. It helps us:&middot; Build inclusive and safe spaces where every person can belong and be celebrated.&middot; Empower and support LGBTQIA+ local youth, families, and organizations through education and outreach.&middot; Elevate local voices, and small businesses who reflect our community&rsquo;s diversity.&middot; Continue critical advocacy that keeps equality and justice at the forefront.

2025 River City Pride Festival & Parade - Friends of Pride Sponsorship

River City Pride is an organization founded in 2018 to serve the LGBTQIA+ community in the Evansville Region. We serve with the tenacious and ever-present mission of creating a safer, loving and accepting Evansville through the promotion of equity, equality, authenticity, inclusivity, representation, awareness, and diversity – with pride.<div style="color:rgb(34, 34, 34);font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:small;font-style:normal;font-variant-ligatures:normal;font-variant-caps:normal;font-weight:400;letter-spacing:normal;orphans:2;text-align:justify;text-indent:0px;text-transform:none;widows:2;word-spacing:0px;-webkit-text-stroke-width:0px;white-space:normal;background-color:rgb(255, 255, 255);text-decoration-thickness:initial;text-decoration-style:initial;text-decoration-color:initial;box-sizing:inherit;line-height:1.5"> </div>Our organization has continuously received increasing interest and amazing support from community members, and we are more excited than ever to continue our efforts! From traversing the nuances of our first Pride Festivals and Parades, to hosting virtual events  during the Covid-19 pandemic, then to the incredible successes of the 2023 and 2024 Main Street River City Pride Festivals & Parades, we are thrilled to be hosting our fifth in-person Pride Festival and Parade in 2025. However, none of what we have done or dream of doing would come to fruition without the support and generosity of our regional corporate partners, local businesses, and individuals. Without these donations, sponsorships, and investments in our mission, River City Pride would simply not be possible. Our community is counting on us to give them hope, and we'd love to partner with YOU to do so through our 2025 Ally Sponsorship opportunity. <div style="color:rgb(34, 34, 34);font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:small;font-style:normal;font-variant-ligatures:normal;font-variant-caps:normal;font-weight:400;letter-spacing:normal;orphans:2;text-align:justify;text-indent:0px;text-transform:none;widows:2;word-spacing:0px;-webkit-text-stroke-width:0px;white-space:normal;background-color:rgb(255, 255, 255);text-decoration-thickness:initial;text-decoration-style:initial;text-decoration-color:initial;box-sizing:inherit;line-height:1.5">Ally Sponsorship: $1,000</div> - Email & Press Release Advertisements- Sponsor Name Recognition on Website (<a rel="noopener noreferrer" style="text-decoration-color:initial;user-select:auto;box-sizing:inherit" target="_blank">www.rivercityprideindiana.org</a>)- Sponsor Logo Recognition on Event Signage- Use of River City Pride Logo- Festival Booth- Parade Entry Spot
