dear potential sponsor:

Thank you for your interest in supporting pride at the dragon. We are in the midst of planning our 5th annual event for 2024 and turning to some of our favorite brands for support.

We will be at Fontana Village Resort in North Carolina the last week in April with over 300 other passionate LGBTQIA+ car enthusiasts; demonstrating to our audience that your brand supports our community, which can return immeasurable goodwill for your brand and potentially any LGBTQIA+ focused employee resource groups you may have.

From discount codes to swag-bag treats to raffle prizes and grants, we would love to work with your teams to help us put on the event of a lifetime. If these, or any of the sponsorship opportunities below seem like a fit for you, please reach out to us at sponsorships@prideatthedragon.com.
