LOS ANGELES (June 4, 2009) - On behalf of a grateful community, Christopher Street West is honored to announce the 2009 Sponsors of the 39th Annual Los Angeles LGBT PRIDE Celebration taking place in the City of West Hollywood, June 12-14, 2009.

 

As articulated in the current three-year vision, 'PRIDE 365: Power. Passion. Purpose.', Christopher Street West, a non-profit organization, works on a perennial basis to support the entire LGBT community. One of the most notable ways has been providing interaction at one of the largest PRIDE gatherings in the world, hosting nearly half-a-million people annually. In order to produce an inclusive event of this magnitude, sponsoring partners provide valuable community support, unique partnerships and financial contributions.

"Every year, I am deeply moved by the genuine concern exhibited by sponsors for the well-being and advancement of the LGBT community", noted LA PRIDE Sponsorship Coordinator, Jeff Paynton, who went on to say, "In addition to bringing nationally recognized stature to the Pride Movement, their humanitarian giving and ongoing dedication has significantly contributed to unprecedented growth of this celebration over the past few years."

In addition to sharing acquired resources and providing massive exposure for nearly 100 community-based organizations, in 2008 Christopher Street West distributed over $76,000 in cash to exemplary programs upholding similar Pride values. This shared success would not be possible without the tremendous support of these fine sponsors and their dynamic community affiliation.

Please join Christopher Street West in acknowledging these exemplary companies upholding equality for the betterment of all humanity.
