With everyone's support and participation, we are in full swing of putting together a Drag-a-thon to benefit our brothers and sisters who were tragically taken from us this weekend in Orlando FL.
With as much consideration taken as possible to respect other NM area Pride events coming up, it was decided that the best available date would be Thursday, June 23rd at 7:45pm sharp (not drag time). We want to thank Sidewinders Bar for donating their venue and staff to support this event that evening and invite EVERYONE in our community out to support those who have tragically lost so much this weekend! Let's unite our community, all walks of life and show that we are here for them as we would home they would be there for us as well.
The event will feature one performer for each life that was lost. All numbers will be upbeat, encouraging, and unifying. Before each performer we will recognize one person who was tragically lost.
We fully intend on broadcasting this live globally through YouTube, ustream or another mainstream form of media. We want florida to know we may be in NM but we are here for them 100%. It is imperative that we start on time.
We will donate 100% of the tips to help those impacted by this tragedy and will provide more info on that soon.
We also need raffle items so that we can raise some more money that way as well. All items that were initially do ated to help the #YouCantStopMe video will be reallocated to help this instead. Yes, that means I will be staying home to do this instead of VIDCON. That can wait. This cannot.
If you do not want to or cannot perform but want to help, we need the following as well...
-People to work raffle tickets in shifts
-A filming team to handle filming and broadcasting the event
-Raffle or silent auction items :)
-Performer check in table 2-3 people
For those under 21 Cherri (Miss Pride Youth) is working on something to highlight our youth specifically as well and once the venue and date is approved we will let you know asap.
Thanks everyone!
