<div><strong>TOGETHER, out west… We Rise</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Help us bring the Gay Games, one of the biggest LGBTQIA2S+ sports and culture events in the world, to Denver in 2030. Denver is a city that champions equity, diversity, inclusion and belonging. We also offer a unique blend of urban energy and outdoor adventure, backed by a vibrant, integrated LGBTQIA2S+ community and a deep commitment to safety, making us the ideal choice to host this powerful global event and inspire meaningful change.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>We can’t make this a reality without your support, and hope you’ll consider making a donation and sharing our fundraiser with your network. Your contribution will support three areas:</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<ul>
<li>A four-day Federation of Gay Games official site inspection (July 15-18, 2025)
</li>
<li>Helping our team get to the in-person presentation requirements in Valencia, Spain (October 24-28, 2025)
</li>
</ul>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>The 2030 presumptive host will be announced October 28, 2025, one year in advance of the 2026 Gay Games in Valencia.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Before then, mark your calendars — Join us for a fantastic and FREE Gay Games 2030 Community Night on July 16th 5:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. at ReelWorks Denver and be a part of something special! Your support helps us make a real difference, and we'd love to celebrate with you. Learn more and RSVP here: GGDENCommunityNight.eventbrite.com 
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Denver's bid is strong due to excellent infrastructure, financial stability, global connectivity via Denver International Airport, and accessible accommodations. As a world-class destination, our central location, stunning scenery, lively culture, and passionate sports scene promise an unforgettable experience, enhanced by a compact Gay Games Village design. Critically, Denver demonstrates exceptional LGBTQIA2S+ support, evidenced by pioneering political leaders like Governor Jared Polis, Mayor Mike Johnston, strong city council representation, progressive policies, the thriving 'Lavender Hill' district, massive PrideFest attendance, and top safety rankings, ensuring a welcoming and affirming environment.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Hosting the Gay Games Denver 2030 represents a promise of a more inclusive future, amplifying the "TOGETHER OUT WEST" message globally. Your GoFundMe contribution is vital; every donation helps demonstrate the widespread passion behind Denver's bid. Help us secure the honor of hosting and create a truly transformative experience for the LGBTQIA2S+ community worldwide, advancing acceptance and understanding. Built upon the principles of Participation, Inclusion, and Personal Best™ since 1982, <a href="https://gaygames.org/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">the Federation of Gay Games</a> exists to promote equity, diversity and inclusion through sport and culture. The Gay Games was developed by Dr. Tom Waddell, an Olympic decathlete, and was first held in San Francisco in 1982.
