2005-09-21
"People say that the fight for equality is a marathon. The Gay Games brings that to life," said Joe Solmonese, HRC President. "Our goal is equality. Like any athlete knows, the harder you work, the closer you are to reaching your objective. As we look back at our progress since the 1994 New York Gay Games, we mark the return of the games to the United States with an even stronger commitment to the future fight. HRC is proud to play a partner role in helping the Gay Games change the world for the better."
"Our partnership with the 2006 Chicago Games will include cross-promotional opportunities, discounts for HRC members to participate as athletes and cultural performers, and cooperative events both in advance and during the Gay Games," said Cathy Nelson, HRC's Vice President for Development and Membership. HRC becomes a Bronze level global sponsor of the Gay Games. "We’re very excited at this opportunity and encourage others to join us in welcoming the world to Chicago this July."
"We are extremely gratified by the support of the Human Rights Campaign for the Gay Games movement and the 2006 Chicago Gay Games," said Tracy Baim, Co-Vice Chair of the Chicago Games, Inc. Board of Directors. "Though our methods may differ, our goals are the same – a world free of bigotry where everyone can be safe at work, home and at play. Beyond sports, culture and social events, at its heart the Gay Games are an effort at social change. HRC will help us achieve that mission."
