SUPPORT A CAUSE THAT MATTERS

This event is more than just a networking opportunity or a celebration of individuals doing powerful grassroots work in our community, it’s a heartfelt effort to uplift and give back.

While the event is not-for-profit, ticket sales help cover essential out-of-pocket expenses for the hosts. Any remaining funds are donated directly to a nonprofit organization making a real difference.

We’ve set a modest but meaningful goal: to raise $1000. Every contribution, no matter the size, brings us closer to that goal and helps amplify the impact of this work.

If you or someone you know would like to make a monetary donation or donate items to place in swag bags to promote their business, please don’t hesitate to reach out.

Your generosity can help spark real change.

We’re looking for vendors ready to showcase their products, entertainment, and talents. This is your chance to shine and be recognized.

Let’s make this year’s event unforgettable. Get in the room—and let the room work for you!
