Sponsorships

become a sponsor of the pride ball

The Pride Ball is a visual celebration of identity, self-expression, and LGBTQIA+ visibility. This annual celebration brings together community leaders, creatives, allies, and advocates for a night of fashion, music, and cultural empowerment.

Dual Impact: Support The Pride Ball & Life Is Work
By becoming a sponsor, your support extends beyond the event — it directly benefits Life Is Work, our nonprofit benefactor. Life Is Work is a Chicago-based LGBTQ-led organization dedicated to uplifting transgender and gender nonconforming individuals through workforce development, housing support, and community advocacy. Proceeds from The Pride Ball will go toward supporting Life Is Work’s mission to advance equity, dignity, and opportunity for marginalized communities.

Why Sponsor?
– Align your brand with a powerful, inclusive celebration of identity and progress
– Amplify your presence among LGBTQIA+ community members, creatives, and allies
– Support the ongoing work of Life Is Work in transforming lives through advocacy and services
– Reinforce your commitment to diversity, equity, and social responsibility

Partnership Opportunities
– Our sponsorship tiers offer meaningful benefits, including:
– Brand visibility across digital, print, and event platforms
– On-site recognition and opportunities to host branded activations
– VIP access and community engagement opportunities
– Inclusion in media coverage and post-event communications

Whether you’re a corporate leader, local business, or community organization, your sponsorship not only elevates The Pride Ball — it actively contributes to the mission of Life Is Work, ensuring your partnership leaves a lasting impact.
