Working Together to Carry Baltimore's Story to the World
As Maryland’s sailing ambassador, Pride of Baltimore II works with businesses, foundations, government agencies, cultural institutions, schools, maritime organizations, and community groups to share Baltimore and Maryland’s maritime story with people at home and around the world.
These relationships take many forms. Some partners provide financial or in-kind support. Others collaborate with us on educational programs, public events, community engagement, historic interpretation, or port visits. Together, they help make it possible for Pride to sail, teach, welcome visitors, and represent Baltimore and Maryland wherever she goes.
Ways Organizations Partner with Pride
Corporate Sponsorships
Corporate partners support Pride’s mission through sponsorship of programs, events, sailing experiences, and other initiatives. Businesses also support our work through donated goods, professional services, technical expertise, hospitality, transportation, and other resources that help keep Pride sailing and our programs accessible to the public.
Sailabration Sponsors
Reinvented as a public festival in 2024, Sailabration: Sailing Traditions in Ink celebrates the art, history, and traditions of maritime tattooing through live tattooing, maritime history, art, music, and activities on the Baltimore waterfront.
The festival brings together artists, historians, maritime organizations, businesses, and the public for a distinctive celebration of maritime culture and Baltimore’s connection to the sea.
We are grateful to the businesses and organizations whose support is helping to grow Sailabration into an annual waterfront tradition.
