Virgin America Named Official Airline of SF Pride Parade

June 24, 2010

Virgin America has announced a partnership with SF Pride, the nation’s largest LGBT event, for the third year in a row. As the “Official Airline of SF Pride,” Virgin America will once again partner with the local LGBT Pride Celebration Committee for the world-famous, one-of-a-kind SF Pride Parade and Celebration for the organization’s historic 40th year in San Francisco.

Virgin America will partner with SF Pride for yet another memorable presence at this year’s historic parade. In addition to the hundreds of Virgin America teammates who will take to the streets for the parade, Virgin America will show that it knows how to make an entrance on Market Street with its “Fabulous Flights. Fabulous Fares” float and our DJ “50 Pound Note,” a local San Francisco DJ and also is an employee at Virgin America. Last year’s Virgin America float took home the award for “Absolutely Fabulous Musical Contingent.”

In addition to the rocking parade party, Virgin Group Founder Sir Richard Branson is asking Pride-goers to submit their ultimate Beauty Queen Acceptance speech, with the best entry scoring the seat of honor onboard the Virgin America Pride float on June 27. Branson posted a special video on Virgin America’s Facebook page about the contest at www.facebook.com/VirginAmerica. The airline will welcome onboard those traveling from all over the country who will take part in the festivities. This year marks the 40th anniversary of SF Pride, which will be held June 26 to 27.
