**Why Sponsor Spokane Pride?** Spokane Pride, a 501(c)(3) tax-exempt organization, invites you to partner with us in our mission to empower and celebrate the LGBTQIA2S+ community. Through our educational initiatives and the iconic annual Pride Parade and Festival, we champion visible diversity across the Inland Northwest. At Spokane Pride, we are dedicated to creating inclusive, engaging, and accessible experiences for ALL. Our commitment includes fostering a harassment-free environment, standing against racism, advocating for universal accessibility, and prioritizing the mental health of our diverse community. We are more than just an LGBTQ2S+ advocacy group; we envision a thriving community where resources are identified, holistic programming is implemented, and safe, intentional, and healthy spaces are cultivated. Since 1992, Spokane Pride has been a beacon of visibility and inclusion, rooted in the legacy of the Stonewall Riots. We invite you to join us on this transformative journey toward a more affirming, inclusive, and vibrant community. **Spokane Pride: From a Riot to a March to a Celebration!**
