New Bern Pride Prom
Sponsorship Information
We're excited to share that New Bern Pride Prom 2025 is on the horizon! This yearly fundraiser celebrates and supports our local LGBTQIA+ community, and we’d love your help in making it a success. Last year, we had over 400 attendees, and this year we are aiming even higher– but we need your help.
You can support Pride Prom in the following ways:
-
Financial Contribution: Help cover event costs like the venue, entertainment, and décor.
-
In-Kind Donations: Contribute products or services for the event.
-
Promotional Support: Spread the word through your business channels.
Pride Prom is more than just a celebration—it’s a way to foster inclusion and fund vital initiatives for LGBTQIA+ individuals in New Bern. Your involvement will not only enhance the event but also showcase your commitment to diversity and community growth. If you look around New Bern, you will see many storefronts with our Safe Space sticker, several of whom were Prom sponsors last year!
