100 Queers Who Care
We are very excited to announce our newest fundraising campaign!
100 Queers Who Care, an event-centered fundraising campaign, was developed in partnership with 10C as a way to bring the community together to support Out On The Shelf as we grow in our new home in the Ackers building (42 Carden Street). With a [tax-deductible] yearly membership of $100, you will be helping to support OOTS as we grow as an organization AND have full-access to a series of events that we will be hosting throughout the year.
Our first event has been generously sponsored by Riot Axe! Join us for an evening of axe throwing Tuesday, October 17th from 7-9pm. Space is limited to 27 attendees, so visit https://ootsmembership.wildapricot.org/100-Queers-Who-Care to learn more and reserve your spot today!
A few notes about the event:
– Due to the nature of the event, attendees must be over the age of 13.
– Minors between age 13-17 will need to have a parent or guardian present.
– Unfortunately, the facility is not accessible. There is a small staircase (4 stairs) leading up into the space.
– Washrooms are gender neutral.
– Closed toe shoes are required!
If you can’t make it out to our first event at Riot Axe, don’t fret! We’ll be having another event soon!
