“For more than two decades, Coors Light has been a proud sponsor of The Center on Colfax and the Pride Parade and Denver PrideFest,” said Molson Coors spokesperson Michael Nordman. “Our Pride runs mile high so we are excited to support the Center’s vital programs and services that positively impact the LGBTQ+ community.”

Thanks to support from companies such as Molson Coors, Denver PrideFest has become the largest celebration of LGBTQ pride in the Rocky Mountain region. With more than 250 contingents, the 2024 Coors Light Denver Pride Parade was the largest in its history.

“Coors Light has been a sponsor of The Center and Denver PrideFest for decades,” says Natalie Zanoni (she/her), Interim CEO of The Center on Colfax. “The work we have been able to do at The Center over the last four decades would not be possible without this support and we are grateful for it.”

Beyond supporting Denver PrideFest, Molson Coors has a distinguished history of supporting LGBTQ+ communities across the country, with significant support for organizations such as Equality Federation, Matthew Shepard Foundation, National LGBT Chamber of Commerce (NGLCC), Out & Equal, LGBTQ Victory Institute, National Center for Lesbian Rights, International Pride Softball, and the National Gay Flag Football League. Here in Colorado they have annual partnerships with Colorado LGBTQ Chamber of Commerce and One Colorado.

In addition to these partners, Molson Coors works with local LGBTQ+ organizations in key communities through its Tap Into Change program. The program is in its 13th year and partners local LGBTQ+ and HIV/AIDS nonprofits with bars, raising $850,000 for those organizations. Events take place in each city to help raise additional funds, awareness, and support for the missions of these local organizations.

Its business resource group (BRG), LAGER (LGBTQ+ and Allies Group Employees Resources), provides support to LGBTQ+ employees and allies to develop a safe and inclusive workplace in which all employees are treated equally. Chapters exist at its corporate offices and breweries in Chicago, Golden, Milwaukee, and Shenandoah. Each group organizes community events, volunteer programs, and promotes belonging in the workplace.

In addition to Denver Pride, Molson Coors also sponsors pride events in Chicago, Dallas, Kansas City, Las Vegas, Milwaukee, and Miami.
