303 Magazine celebrates release of PrideFest issue


Yesterday, 303 Magazine released its first-ever PrideFest Issue timed with the upcoming Denver PrideFest 2011. The 6th largest Pride event in the country, the Denver PrideFest is held every June in conjunction with national LGBT (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender) month and includes a variety of festivities around the city.

In support of this special edition, 303 Magazine and The GLBT Community Center of Colorado (The Center) will host the first annual PrideFest Special Edition Release Party and VIP reception on Thursday, May 26th, at the Exdo Event Center. Included in the night’s festivities will be the largest LGBT fashion show of the year. As the nonprofit partner for this event, The Center will receive 25 percent of the proceeds made from ticket sales to the event.

Hosted by Channel 2’s beloved entertainment reporter and Everyday Show host, Chris Parente (pictured left), and produced by 303 Magazine’s creative director, Charlie Price, the fashion show will feature 20 of Denver’s top male and female models in a three-segment showcase.

“We are excited to partner with The Center for this momentous event and support the mission of PrideFest in a way reflective of 303 Magazine and our goal of staying on the pulse of Denver fashion,” remarked AB Aharonian, publisher of 303 Magazine.

"The Center and Denver PrideFest are proud to partner with 303 Magazine on this inaugural PrideFest edition launch. Joining marketing forces with the 303 team has allowed us to expand our reach and our relevance to new LGBT and allied audiences, sponsors and supporters,” stated Amy Drayer with The Center. “With 36 years of history behind us, we never stop looking forward, and we know that 303 is the right way to continue our expansion. Every dollar resulting from PrideFest is directly reinvested into programs to support our LGBT community; and when a company steps up to support that mission in the way that 303 has, we know we've found a true ally.”
