Dear Friend of Stonewall,

Stonewall Columbus Pride Holiday 2010 will be held Friday through Sunday. June 18-20, 2010 and is considered to be the largest Gay Pride celebration of its kind in the Midwest and one of the top 10 in the country. In 2007, Columbus, Ohio received national acclaim in The Advocate as an unexpected yet fabulous destination for Pride. This year marks our 29th anniversary of Stonewall Columbus Pride Holiday as we rally toward a bigger and better event than the Greater Columbus GLBT and allied community has ever seen. Attendance at the celebration of diversity and community spirit was outstanding last year with an estimated 180,000 participants. Pride Holiday is a crucial fundraising venture for Stonewall Columbus. Funds raised at the Pride events support Stonewall Columbus and its pursuit of equality, fairness and safety for the entire gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender (GLBT) community.

The theme of Pride this year is “Celebrate Our Families.” Coming out to family and friends can be a big challenge for an LGBT person and often they are met with rejection and disdain from those they love the most. As a result, many people create new families and find networks of others for love and support. This year at Stonewall Columbus Pride, we recognize our strong LGBT families and we encourage everyone to come out with their families and celebrate with us. Join us in June 2010 as we host the following Pride events for the community: An Exhibit of Pride Art Show, Run for Pride 5K, the Pride Festival and Parade on June 18 & 19th and the Pride Brunch at the Westin Columbus Hotel on Sunday, June 20.

If you have additional questions, contact Executive Director, Karla Rothan at (P) 614-930-2261 or Email sponsors@columbuspride.org.

We look forward to hearing from you. Thank you in advance for your continued support of Stonewall Columbus and the LGBT community.

Sincerely,

Karla Rothan
Executive Director
