Follow the rainbow to New Hope Pennsylvania.
Revised February 27th 2014
Welcome to New Hope Celebrates Pride 2014NEW HOPE CELEBRATES (NHC) is a nonprofit or-ganization focused on stimulating the retail, hospitality, and professional community, as well as highlighting the history of New Hope, Pennsylvania. NHC is comprised of a Board of volunteers that serves the diverse LGBTA popu-lace through marketing opportunities, educa-tional activities, cultural events, and an annual PRIDE celebration in May. All of the NHC activi-ties are focused on bringing awareness to New Hope, and surrounding areas, and the diverse community that comprises these areas.
All proceeds generated through NHC events are given back to the New Hope communi-ty through charitable donations that contin-ue to foster an open, diverse, and welcoming community, and to increase awareness of the many businesses and events that New Hope has to offer.
In the past decade, New Hope Celebrates (NHC) has grown and developed into the only all-volun-teer marketing organization for the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgendered and allied population (LGBTA) in Bucks County, Pa. and we have a strong partnership with our friends just over the bridge in Lambertville, NJ.
Being a sponsor of NHC, through its many year-round events, broadens the reach of your advertising and places your business in the fore-front of the loyal LGBTA population in this as well as surrounding areas.
Consider this: studies indicate that the LGBT market sector is approximately 9-16 million strong and that 74% of LGBT consumers, whose average income is higher than norm, are most likely to support brands or retailers who support them.
More than many “pride” organizations, NHC has become a brand name. It is known for it’s diverse annual events where sponsorship op-portunities abound. Its logo and flag often adorn local shops as a harbinger of welcome to the LGBTA community and supporters. ■
NHC Pride event will be held this year in New Hope & Lambertville from May 11th – 18th, 2014.
ANNUAL EVENTS AND SPONSORSHIP OPPSOur year-round events include activities for LGBT and allied friends and families and include, entertainment such as dances, parties, comedic performances and an exciting, colorful and dynamic parade that has been twice marshalled by the Governor of Pennsylvania and twice by a US Congressman. The parade is the cornerstone event of a week-long festival held in New Hope each May.
With an estimated 13,000 in attendance and projected retail sales revenue of over 1.5 million, Landmark Towns named our festival “Most Out-standing Multi-Event in Bucks County” in 2012. Opportunities for sponsors are everwhere, from ban-ners at specific events,to invitations for wealth and legal service seminars, to sales/show participation in a day long “block party” and “vendor fair.”
WEB SITE, SOCIAL MEDIA AND APP OPPSOur Web site, newhopecelebrates.com, is one of the top stops for LGBT travelers seeking comfortable, compatible area getaways and it is available for banners and logos. It is linked to many local business and government Web sites.
Our NHC interactive “Pride App,” added in 2013, tourists have access to New Hope’s weekly hap-penings in the touch of their fingertip then, after visiting, can post their own tips! It is sponsored by Edge Media and is available for free in Apple and Android retail outlets.
In 2013 we introduced “Retro-scope” a public col-lective of photos & personal memories showcasing New Hope’s LGBT History. Visit www.retro-scope.orgNHC has also been recognized for it’s eclectic, up-
to-the-minute Facebook and social media presence. In addition, the annual Guide produced by NHC is available at the Bucks County Visitor’s Centers in Bensalem and New Hope and is replenished through-out the year in key LGBT gathering spots, as well as participating retail stores.
GIVING BACKOur organization also gives back to the community, often holding fund-raising events or donating grants to LGBT charities. These efforts for organizations have included help for services to the LGBT medically or economically challenged and, though the local schools, emotional and educational support for LGBT teens and their allies.
ACHIEVEMENTSThe founder of New Hope Celebrates was honored by the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania as an “Out-standing Citizen” for work on behalf of NHC in keeping New Hope’s LGBT population within the mindfulness of others. New Hope was named among the “Top Ten LGBT Small-Town USA Destinations” by the venerated online Huffington Post. Also listed as one of the top 14 reasons to visit Bucks County by Bucks County Visitors Center.
The festival has been spotlighted nationally by CBS News on LOGO and NHC is currently featured twice yearly on Philadelphia’s “Comcast TV News-mak-ers.” There have been literally hundreds of articles published about New Hope Celebrates through the years from small publications in Sheboygan, WI. to the New York Times.

Here’s are some statistics you may not know about the LGBT Market
Nationally, LGBTQ consumers represent 3-5% approximately 9 million to 16.4 million of the general populace and 76% have household incomes over the national average with 30% above $100,000. 97% took vacations last year and 53% spent $5000 or more on their trip, according to a recent Community Marketing Inc. survey. Given those statistics, having your name and logo associated with our nationally advertised, charitable fes-tival would be ad and marketing dollars well.
75% are likely to consider brands/business that support nonprofits and/or causes that are important to them. – Harris Interactive ■
