FREE Registration to the Cologne Gay Games
June 27, 2010 · Posted by Admin
With less than 45 days before the start of Gay Games VIII, Cologne has attracted over 9700 participants. Registration is now closed. However, if you are still interested in attending and have not registered, you can still participate with the help of Team Vancouver.
Team Vancouver is giving away a free registration to a deserving individual. The board President is unable to attend the Cologne Gay Games and has donated his registration to Team Vancouver. Aside from opening and closing ceremonies, the registration includes participation in a sporting event. Preference will be given to a person based on financial need. However, we will look at all applications and serious consideration will be given to anyone who has expressed a profound reason to attend the Gay Games. Please pass this along to all your friends. The successful applicant will be required to become a member of Team Vancouver.
If you are interested, please read the attached document and email the completed form to info@teamvancouver.net
