Some big changes to our website are coming as we update our look and content to match our new brand! Thanks for your patience while some information might be out-of-date — we hope to have our revamp done soon. If you have a question, please contact us!
What started in our founder's apartment with $2,000 for a primary recipient has now expended to $10,000 per quarter to the most-voted charity! Check out these records of our previous events, including the amounts that we've had the pleasure of awarding to these LGBTQ2S-focused charities in the Lower Mainland.
