Cleveland Pride

PRESS RELEASE FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

AdultMart and Cleveland Pride are pleased to announce they will be working together as partners for this year’s Cleveland Pride celebration in Voinovich Park on June 20. Adult Mart is a Silver sponsor of Cleveland Pride, increasing its sponsorship level over previous years.

By partnering, Cleveland Pride and AdultMart will promote a worthy cause—to bring awareness and acceptance of the LGBT community to the Northeast Ohio region, as well as putting Cleveland Pride’s “Equality through Unity” theme into practice.

“Cleveland Pride is pleased to announce AdultMart as one of our chief sponsors for 2009. This alignment will help to reinforce the message to the LGBT community that it is vital to form and to continue partnerships with those businesses serving our demographic,” observed Todd Saporito, 2009 Cleveland Pride Board President/CEO.

“We believe in giving back to our community via such partnerships. We are honored that AdultMart has increased its sponsorship level with us in this tough economic climate. In return, we are pleased to be able to provide Adult Mart exposure to one of their most loyal target audiences, the LGBT community,” added Saporito.

“AdultMart is proud to be a part of the celebration of diversity that the Cleveland Pride festival represents. We are pleased to have the opportunity to offer not only our continued support to Cleveland Pride as a vendor, but also as a Silver-level sponsor,” according to Rondee Kamins, CEO of Adult Mart and its family of stores.

Founded in 1989, Cleveland Pride has been an integral part of the Northeastern Ohio region for the past 21 years. Cleveland’s Pride celebration is among the first half-dozen such events launched in the U.S., making our Parade and Festival among the longest continuing Pride events in the country.

On an ongoing basis, Cleveland Pride brings awareness, education and knowledge of the queer community to the general public to discourage/eliminate prejudice and discrimination on the basis of a person’s actual or perceived sexual oriental or gender identity. Cleveland Pride openly recognizes and embraces all individuals of the queer community who identify as gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender, queer questioning, intersex and straight allies, while understanding that each group identified exists in all ages, races, national origins and physical abilities.
