Dear Community Supporter, The Emerald City has a major event coming its way over Labor Day Weekend, in 2015. This event is the largest event of its kind in the World. Convergence is an annual event that allows gay big men and admirers to come together without fear of being shunned for being large or liking large men. The main purpose of convergence is for gay big men and their admirers to network, socialize, and empower themselves and others as well as to celebrate being big and healthy. This event attracts over 400 men from all over the world. Most guests are from the United States, but registrants have come from over 35 different countries. Convergence makes a large economic boost to the local community in which it is held. The event has been held in many of the United States most popular cities, including Boston, New York, San Diego, Reno, Las Vegas, Phoenix, Chicago, New Orleans and Washington D.C. to name a few. Big Gay Mens Organization (BGMO) is international service organization that assists to help communities to put on this event and has for over 28 years now. One of BGMO’s goals is to assist its member clubs and help build new clubs for gay big men and their admirers all over the world. In 2015 Convergence will be held at the Double Tree by Hilton - Seattle Airport. Beside meals and social hours, we have planned dances, entertainment, poker pub crawl, pool parties and numerous self help seminars with qualified facilitators. We invite you to please join us in making Convergence 2015 a huge success. Whether you are a returning supporter from a previous Convergence or considering being a supporter for the first time we would be honored and deeply appreciative if you would consider becoming a Sponsor for our Emerald City Convergence 2015. The Convergence Committee is working hard to plan a great event for everyone to have a great time and enjoy the event, we are also making a concentrated effort to give back to the community and lend a helping hand as much as possible. We have selected several beneficiaries that the proceeds of the event will be given too. These are Big Gay Mens Organization, Lambert House and Gay City Health Project. Giving back to the local community is primarily possible because we seek sponsors to help support the event and allow us to make these donations to local charities. We would feel privileged and honored to have you as a Sponsor for this special event. So on behalf of the Convergence Committee, and the community we serve, we want to take this opportunity to THANK YOU for considering being a very important part of our event. Thank you for allowing us the opportunity to work together on this awesome community event. Damon Blumberg Event Director Convergence 2015 4742 42nd Ave SW #629 Seattle, WA, 98116
