Welcome to the Family! From our humble beginnings in 1999 with just a half-dozen picnic tables at Fairhaven Park to what we see today has grown to become the second largest pride event in Washington State. Through local support and activism, we've been able to organize festivals, parades, youth events, and various other outreach activities which now host over 10,000 participants annually. Our goal at is to cultivate and preserve a safe and healthy community for LGBTQ+ peoples and their families to live, work, grow, and thrive. We want to celebrate the diversity of human life, promote equal rights, increase the visibility of the LGBTQ+ community, and have fun doing it. Corporate and business sponsorships have always been a vital key to out success as an organization and in anticipation of what we're expecting to be a record-breaking year for us we'd like to invite you to help us achieve these goals. When you support your gift not only supports our continuous efforts in making Bellingham a positive environment but also directly supports many organizations that are working for our equal rights and meeting various needs of the community. Every gift - at any level - makes a significant difference in 's outreach, and all support is strategically used to ensure a range of local queer concerns and interests are addressed each year. As a federal 501(c)3 nonprofit group, we at would like to invite all local organizations, businesses, and individuals interested in becoming a sponsor to join us in our cause. you! We welcome you to become a part of our family today and we look forward to working with Sincerely,
