MCLEAN, VA. - Through July 31, 2012, Hilton HHonors, the loyalty program for Hilton Worldwide's 10 distinct hotel brands, is giving members and friends of the LGBT community the chance to attend one of the most popular pride events of the year, San Francisco Pride 2013.
The Party With Pride Sweepstakes will reward one grand prize winner with a seven-day/six-night trip for two to San Francisco to attend the 43rd annual San Francisco Pride Celebration & Parade on June 29 and 30, 2013.
With over 200 parade contingents, 300 exhibitors, and more than 20 stages and venues, the San Francisco LGBT Pride Celebration and Parade is the largest LGBT gathering in the nation. The prize package also includes roundtrip airfare, hotel accommodations at the Hilton San Francisco Financial District, one million HHonors points and a $1,000 HHonors gift card.
"Providing our HHonors members the opportunity to create experiences worth sharing is of the utmost importance to us" said Jeff Diskin, senior vice president, global customer marketing, Hilton Worldwide. "We know how important San Francisco Pride is to our LGBT guests and their friends, and we're pleased to give them the chance to attend and explore everything the Golden Gate city has to offer."
The Hilton HHonors Party With Pride Sweepstakes follows on the heels of the launch of the "Stay Hilton. Go Out" package created by Hilton Hotels & Resorts, the flagship brand of Hilton Worldwide. The package extends discounts and added value for LGBT travelers and their friends, including reduced room rates, double Hilton HHonors points, free high-speed Internet, late checkout when available and a free one-year digital subscription to OUT, one of the world's leading gay magazines.
All Hilton HHonors members and new members who join the loyalty program are eligible to participate in the sweepstakes at www.HHonors.com/Pride. Once entered, participants will receive one additional entry for each completed night stay at any of the more than 3,800 hotels within the Hilton Worldwide portfolio during the promotion period. The sweepstakes is open to U.S. residents only.
A winner will be selected during a drawing at random on or around August, 14, 2012. For full terms and conditions or to become a Hilton HHonors member, visit www.HHonors.com/Pride
