Cleveland Pride

Renaissance Hotel partners with Cleveland Pride

The Renaissance Hotel 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. The Renaissance Hotel has become a bronze-level sponsor of Cleveland Pride’s parade and festival, the city’s largest annual event.

By partnering, the Renaissance Hotel and Cleveland Pride 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 the Renaissance Hotel as a bronze sponsor for Cleveland Pride’s 2009 festival and parade. A local landmark, the Renaissance Hotel is vital to the economy of Cleveland, and we couldn’t be happier to be aligned with them,” observed Todd Saporito, 2009 Cleveland Pride Board President/CEO.

Saporito encourages any local residents and out-of-towners coming to Cleveland that weekend to book their stay at the Renaissance.

“You and your partner or friends can stay at the Renaissance Hotel downtown and have a local place to stay the weekend of June 20 so that you may enjoy the festivities,” he said.

“Just wake up and it’s a short walk to the parade and festival!” he added.

The Renaissance Hotel is Cleveland’s landmark social and business address, and it was built in 1918. The hotel includes a fitness center, valet, gift shop, room service, laundry service and an indoor pool.

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 orientation 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.
