2008 Pride Parade a Success!

The 7th Annual AGLCC Pride Parade held on Saturday, June 14th, was a resounding success! Over 70 entries with 1100 participants walked the parade route to the cheers of over 45,000 spectators.  It's the biggest one yet!  Thank you Austin!!! If not for your continued support, these events would not exist.
 
The AGLCC thanks its many sponsors who made this year's parade possible:
 
Presenting Sponsor ~ Aetna
Platinum Sponsor ~ The Gardner Group
Media Sponsors ~ 96.7 KISS FM and The Austin Chronicle
 
Our gratitude extends to the many businesses in the 2nd Street and Warehouse Districts; to Classic Chassis Car Club and Five Star Auto for providing vehicles to our special guests; to our Grand Marshalls: Bettie Naylor, Gary Cooper and aGLIFF.  
 
Special mention goes to Alliance Transportation; the City of Austin Right-of-Way, Parks and Recreation, Police Department and EMS; the Palmer Events Center and the Long Center. Last but certainly not the least, thank you to over 50 volunteers who helped make the parade and the Patrons of Pride party a success.
 
Congratulations to this year's winners:
 
Grand Marshall's Award - The Wright House Wellness Center
Best Float - Oilcan Harry's
Best Vehicle - Texas Advocacy Project
Best Walking Group - Out Youth
 
Pictures and videos will be available very soon on the Parade website!
 

New! - Events Committee

You spoke and we listened!  The Parade volunteers had such a great time at the VIP event that we will be forming a standing Events Committee to help with all our major events throughout the year.  And of course, event volunteers will have an all-access pass to all Chamber events, big and small!  Meeting locations are yet to be determined but if you're interested in participating, contact Ceci Gratias at membership@aglcc.org
