Queeraoke is more than a karaoke night! Join as a sponsor today ($150-2,500) or make an individual contribution under $150!  

The Chorus Line $150
Your $150 roughly covers the volunteers who make a whole night run. Everyone in the Chorus gets named together on the sponsor list and in the thank-you from the stage. It's the easiest way for a small business or one generous person to get on the board, and it adds up fast when a few of you join in at once!

Solo Spot $250
This nearly covers one of the big pieces of a night, whether that's the room, the DJ, or our many volunteers each of which runs about $300. You step out of the group list here, so your logo rides along in our recognition all year instead of just your name. A good fit for a business that wants its support tied to a regular, well-attended event.

Show Stopper $500
 Half of one Queeraoke is on you at this level, and you help keep the door free for everyone who walks in. You get a post of your own so your support isn't grouped with the rest, plus your logo in the newsletter. For a lot of partners, that visible stance is the whole point.

Headliner $1,000
You fund an entire night, start to finish: the venue, the sound, the bar, and the people running it. This is true monthly sponsorship, one full Queeraoke with your name on it. Your logo is displayed at the event and on our social media, and you get a spotlight in the newsletter. At this level it starts to feel like a real partnership.

Hall of Fame $2,500
Our lead sponsorship, and it covers two and a half nights on its own, more than two months of Queeraoke. Your logo sits at the top everywhere logos appear, you get a featured newsletter spotlight, and you get reserved seats at a night of your choosing with the option of a quick welcome on the mic. Few organizations step up to the mic here, and the ones that do stand out for it!

Queeraoke info:

Each month, LGBTQIA2S+ people, friends, families, and allies gather in Bemidji for an evening of music, laughter, connection, and community. For some people, Queeraoke is a fun night out. For others, it may be one of the few public spaces where they can show up as themselves and feel seen, welcomed, and safe.

In rural northern Minnesota, affirming spaces are still limited. LGBTQIA2S+ people often have to travel farther, search harder, or take more risks just to find community. Queeraoke helps fill that gap by offering a consistent, low-barrier gathering space rooted in joy, dignity, and belonging.

Pride Support Network created Queeraoke because our community needs more than one-time events. We need spaces that happen regularly. We need places where people can build relationships over time. We need events that remind people they are not alone.

Your gift helps keep Queeraoke going.

Donations support the real costs of making this monthly event possible, including event supplies, outreach, accessibility needs, host and entertainment support, volunteer support, safety materials, and the behind-the-scenes coordination it takes to keep Queeraoke welcoming and sustainable.

When you support Queeraoke, you are not just funding an event. You are helping sustain rural LGBTQIA2S+ community infrastructure. You are helping create a space where people can laugh, sing, connect, and belong.

Help us keep Queeraoke singing.
