Ticket Access:

Our mission is to cultivate access and connections to promote self-determination, liberation, and joy, and that extends to events like this. While this is a fundraiser, we recognize that capitalism creates barriers between the communities we serve and accessing events and spaces, and would like to ensure that everyone who wants to attend is able to. If the ticket price creates a barrier for you, please feel free to email us at [email protected] so that we can provide access to a ticket.

If you are an affluent member of the community, please consider paying it forward by selecting a larger ticket level. All contributions to Seattle’s LGBTQ+ Center are tax deductible.

Accessibility:

Our goal is to ensure that guests feel as comfortable and supported as possible. We are purposefully selecting a variety of activities with varying levels of sensory activation to ensure the event and space are as accommodating as possible for all members of our communities, regardless of your social comfort level or the unique way that your brain works.

The venue is ADA accessible and has a ramp on the Broadway side of the building.

Sponsors:

Thank you so much to Stoup Brewing, Seattle Lesbian Literature Meetup Group, and Rooted Northwest for supporting the Center at this event! We would like to thank our sponsors of last years event as well.
