Event Partnership Opportunities

The 15th Annual Garden Party will be held on Sunday, October 3, 2010, at Einstein's in Midtown Atlanta. More than 350 women and men attend the annual fundraiser.

The LGBTQ (lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer) market is one of the fastest growing markets in the U.S.

  • LGBT consumers spend approximately $650 billion annually on products and services.

  • By 2011, their consumer buying power is expected to grow to over $835 billion.

  • Metro Atlanta is ranked 10th among all large metro areas in the nation with the highest concentrations of same-sex households.*

  • 82% of LGBT consumers are "more likely to purchase products or services from companies they know are gay friendly than those that are not". **

Your business has the opportunity to reach this market through any or all of the following options:

  • Silent Auction Donations
  • Corporate Sponsorships

Silent Auction tables are located throughout Einstein's and decorated attractively to highlight the businesses that have donated items and services. Last year, we featured over 200 items in the Silent Auction in categories such as: travel, art, dining, entertainment, health and wellness, gifts, sports, collectibles and pet care.

If your company would like to contribute a product or service to the silent auction, please contact Linda Ellis at the Atlanta Lesbian Helath Initiative at 404-688-2524.

Corporate Sponsorships are available with an extensive list of benefits. You can find out more details on those benefits by contacting Sheila Merritt with Q&A Events at: 404-762-566 ext. 302
