 <strong>We are Hearth &amp; Den Social Lounge.</strong>
</div>
<div>
 <br>
</div>
<div>
 We are trying to open a new third space in the Greater Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky area. We are envisioning a place where people can come relax, socialize, make friends, and feel safe and welcome.
</div>
<div>
 <br>
</div>
<div>
 Heart and Den will be an 18+ transforming lounge that during the day is a cozy, warm, relaxing place to go hang out with friends, get coffee, maybe do some remote work, and play games.
</div>
<div>
 <br>
</div>
<div>
 As the evening progresses, we will transition to events like trivia, karaoke, drag shows, demonstrations, movie nights, and other social events. At night, it will transition into a dance club atmosphere.
</div>
<div>
 <br>
</div>
<div>
 We plan to look for locations that have additional rooms that can be used as multi-purpose areas for private events or extensions to other events.
</div>
<div>
 <br>
</div>
<div>
 Most of all, we want to build a place that feels open and accepting to all, whether they are gay, bi, lesbian, trans, non-binary, queer, furry, pup, nerd, gamer, etc.
</div>
<div>

<div>
 <strong>If you respect everyone in our community, we will respect you.</strong>

 <strong>Why we're fundraising</strong>
</div>
<div>
 We are currently raising money to help with capital required to help get Hearth and Den off the ground. It will take more, but to even get off the ground, we need some assistance. We do have our own funds as well, but it is not enough on its own.
</div>
<div>
 <br>
</div>
<div>
 Our initial goal is $35,000. This won't cover everything we need, but it will make a huge difference in our ability to get this business going.
</div>
<div>
 <br>
</div>
<div>
 We're hoping support from the community can help us limit the amount of debt we would need to take on to get the lounge started.
</div>
<div>
 <br>
</div>
<div>
 If you like this idea, and believe a place like this would be good for the Greater Cincinnati/NKY area, we'd appreciate any support you can provide, even if that means sharing this campaign to others.

 Thanks so much for your consideration! Let's get a little wild.
