For nine festival years — 2012 through 2018, then 2022 and 2023 — I helped Charlotte Atheists & Agnostics sponsor and run its booth at the Charlotte Pride Festival, putting a friendly, visible face on the secular community in front of one of the region’s biggest crowds.
A Booth Worth Staffing
Charlotte Pride draws more than 100,000 attendees a year. Showing up well means real logistics: sponsorship paperwork, merchandise vendors, festival organizers, booth design, and a volunteer schedule that keeps the tent staffed and welcoming all weekend.
What We Did
Booth & sponsorship
Coordinated the sponsorship and built out a booth that represented the organization well, year after year.
Vendor coordination
Managed merchandise vendors and festival organizers so setup, stock, and teardown ran smoothly.
Community engagement
Met thousands of attendees — conversations, community, and a welcoming presence.
Multi-year commitment
Nine festivals across more than a decade of showing up for the community.
From the Booth
The Charlotte Atheists & Agnostics booth at Charlotte Pride 2022 — uptown Charlotte lit for the occasion.
The Impact
A consistent, friendly presence at the region’s largest celebration of inclusion — and each year, new members who found the community because someone was there at the tent to say hello.
Showing Up, Every Year
Sponsorships, vendors, volunteers, and logistics — the unglamorous work that makes a public presence possible. It’s the same follow-through I bring to every project with my name on it.
