$10-$20 Sliding Scale No one turned away for lack of funds!!
All proceeds go to Our Space youth programming - leadership opportunities, internships, etc.
There will be a fabulous gay unicorn photobooth, a raffle - including massages, museum tickets, a circus arts class, an hour at FLOAT, sex toys, dinners, cakes, pies, acupuncture, artwork, etc.- and a not so surprise performance by Our Space staff if we reach our fundraising goal. My favorite part of the evening line-up, aside from the amazing Queens and Kings, is the debut screening of an original short film about Our Space (shout out to Q & Brock Cocker for taping & editing assistance), starring Our Space members and staff - it contains hilarious, tear-jerking, honest, ferocious, profound, magical, real, sparkly, healing, stunningly beautiful candid interviews about the impact of having a safe space in the lives of QT youth.
"Very great Cause...I have been working with this Queer youth center for a while now and i am honored to host my first fundraiser for them. i hope you all can come out to help support the next generation of our Queer!!!"
