Solo Sponsorship | $25,000 As the exclusive Stage Sponsor, your brand is prominently featured on your respective stage banners, video wall, and stage schedule social media posts, putting your organization directly in front of every festivalgoer who gathers to watch the performances. You'll receive 20 Festival VIP tickets, a complimentary parade contingent in the "Blaze It Forward" Pride Parade, one 15-60 second Festival stage video, a full-page ad in the Digital Pride Guide, two social media posts across OC Pride platforms, and logo placement on festival and parade volunteer shirts. You'll also receive a speaking opportunity during our awards ceremony on the Pride Stage and an on-site interview shared across OC Pride's social media reels. Optional complimentary booth space up to 10x20ft is available. Year-round recognition on the OC Pride website and monthly newsletters for 12 months is included. Shared Sponsorship | $13,000 As a Shared Stage Sponsor, your organization partners alongside one other brand at this prominent festival level. Your brand is featured on all festival marketing materials across digital, print, and radio, and you'll receive 20 Festival VIP tickets, a complimentary parade contingent in the "Blaze It Forward" Pride Parade, one 15-30 second Festival stage video, a full-page ad in the Digital Pride Guide, one social media post across OC Pride platforms, and logo placement on festival and parade volunteer shirts.
