OBX Pride, Inc. is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to the cultural enrichment of our local community and vacationers. In the past we have offered a high school scholarship award to Gay/Straight Alliance club members and made donations to organizations such as the Outer Banks Relief Foundation. In 2019 we donated $1500 to another local nonprofit, Dare2Care, who raises money to fund music lessons and equipment for special needs band, the OBX Shredders. We are also currently collaborating with other local organizations, such as Hotline, to make resources and helplines for the LGBTQ community on the Outer Banks more accessible and available.
We would like to ask you to become a sponsor of OBX Pride to help raise money to fund and grow our LGBTQ and local community involvement and resources. OBX Pridefest, now an established tourist attraction, draws hundreds of tourists to the beaches of Dare County each September since we began this journey in 2011. This event is our flagship fundraiser for our nonprofit, OBX Pride, Inc. The whole event, including the entertainment, sunset cruise, and music festival, brings the regional LGBTQ community and supporters together for a weekend full of inclusiveness, fun, and celebration of being yourself. OBX Pride was voted 3rd place for Best Festival/Cultural Event in 2019’s Best of the Beach!
Becoming a sponsor will give you the opportunity to promote your business in a number of ways. LGBTQ tourists and supporters pay attention to our sponsors- they want to know which businesses support our events and community activities. On the next few pages you will see the different sponsorship levels and what is included for your business at each level. We offer advertising for our sponsors via our website, social media, posters, T-shirts, and other promotional materials. We could not pull this off year after year without the generous support of our sponsors!! Thank you! Melanie Space, Chairman

OBX Pride, Inc. is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit and your sponsorship or donation will be tax deductible. We sincerely appreciate your support!
