The Chicago Area Gay and Lesbian Chamber of Commerce is excited to offer a unique sponsorship opportunity – The 2010 Summer Sponsorship Series. This year, the Chicago Area Gay & Lesbian Chamber of Commerce has decided to make our Summer Sponsorship even more comprehensive. We have created the opportunity for our members to sponsor eleven of our summer events taking place between June 1st and September 10th.

The event breakdown is as follows:
