The event will feature Music by Sylus DiCoach “International Party Host”, Drag Performances by Damsel ’N Disdress, Willa DeWhisp, Freddie Hercury, Cella Rhee & Logan Betty. There will also be Food, Dancing, a Photo Booth, and a grand old time for friends and family (21+ only due to venue restrictions)!
Also, as in the past, 100% of donations go directly to the Harm Reduction Center at Evergreen Health, the regional leader in Harm Reduction. Harm Reduction means meeting people where they’re at.
The most common Harm Reduction services for people who use drugs include syringe exchange, Narcan, HIV and Hepatitis C testing and low-barrier access to buprenorphine, a medication also known by the brand name Suboxone. Though it is counter to society’s traditional moralistic approach to drug use, Harm Reduction is a proven method for decreasing disease transmission and keeping people engaged and alive.
Over the last three years, the annual Pride Weekend Kickoff Party has raised over $15,000 for this great cause. Help us reach our 2025 goal of raising an additional $10,000!
Get ready for a night of music, dancing, and good vibes surrounded by friends and allies. Don’t miss out on this opportunity to share love and positivity with like-minded individuals. See you there!
