Every month we run the most absurd raffle in the Bay Area. The winner, among other things, has the opportunity to pie a drag queen in the face. All proceeds go to a charity we feel align with our values and is doing stellar work in the community.

THIS MONTH WE WILL BE DONATING TO Bay Area Girls Rock Camp

Bay Area Girls Rock Camp is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that empowers young people through music, promoting an environment that fosters self-confidence, creativity and teamwork. Although our camp centers the experiences of young women, we are committed to gender justice and creating an inclusive environment that supports a wide range of marginalized gender identities and expressions.
