The Michigan International Gay Rodeo Association (M.I.G.R.A.) is proud to announce our Greater Motown International Rodeo, which will be held in June, 2010. The rodeo events will be held at the Wayne County Fairgrounds in Belleville, Michigan. The host Hotel for the rodeo is the Holiday Inn Express Hotel and Suites, which is located within walking distance of the rodeo grounds in Belleville. M.I.G.R.A. is working very hard to produce the Greater Motown International Rodeo, which will raise much needed funds for various charities throughout the state of Michigan.

This event IS the largest gay and lesbian Country and Western festival in the Great Lakes Region, including Ontario, Canada. We invite you to be a part of this exciting event by joining the sponsors and benefactors of our rodeo. A variety of opportunities are available to you through our sponsorship program. By advertising in our Rodeo program, sponsoring award buckles and promotional items, thousands of spectators and contestants will be exposed to your firm’s products and services.

M.I.G.R.A. is a member of the International Gay Rodeo Association (IGRA), which is an umbrella organization that

has 28 member associations across the United States and Canada. IGRA is the second largest rodeo-sanctioning organization in the United States with a total membership of over 3,000. With an average total of 20 rodeos a year, IGRA continues working to bring the great American tradition of rodeo to new and diverse audiences.

M.I.G.R.A., itself, is a rapidly growing organization and since it’s birth in 1994 has increased membership over 100%. Since we are a 501c3 non-profit organization, all net proceeds raised by the organization are donated to designated community organizations. The success of the 2010 rodeo and our ability to contribute even more to charity depends on the support of businesses and organizations like yours!

The gay market is a highly lucrative market. As surveys have shown: Gay customers are Loyal, Have higher than average incomes, More disposable income, Travel more then the average American/Canadian, and Purchase products that show support for the gay community and causes. Imagine the increased revenue potential through these forms of advertisements at the rodeo arena, at the dances, and through advertising to the wider community will bring to your company.

Please consider partnering with M.I.G.R.A. to raise funds for very deserving charities and produce a fun and exciting event that will appeal to a wide variety of gay and straight people.
