SUPPORT JAMAICA'S DOLL BALL
Don protégé
HAPPY PRIDE! Jamaicans are a proud people. We celebrate the likes of Bob Marley and Usain Bolt, but what about the iconic, gender expansive, Grace Jones? Sadly, anti-LGBTQIA+ hate remains rampant in Jamaica. We're changing that.
We're CONNEK, JA and we're reshaping Jamaica's relationship with queerness. Our org brings visibility to the legacy of queer Jamaica through a wide variety of local experiences.
Our Doll Ball Vol 1 last year was a HUGE success,
but we need YOUR HELP bringing Doll Ball to life again.
Put your money where your pride is.
We’re raising a total of $15,000 to cover the cost of:
- Venue Rental
- Event Security
- Food & Refreshments
- Transportation
- Fair Wages for All Event Workers
- Airfare (our org involves folks throughout the Jamaican Diaspora)
- Event Set Up and Take Down
- Additional Funds Raised will Go Towards Supporting Future Connek Endeavors
Every dollar counts! THANK YOU!
More Ways to Support:
- SHARE this fundraiser with friends on Twitter, IG, Facebook and via email
- Fundraise at your Pride party
