Support Equity: Help Fund BLACKWEEK Tickets

11/8/24: DONATIONS PAUSED UNTIL 2025. THANK YOU!!

What does this fundraiser do?

Many have asked how they can support the inaugural BLACKWEEK event beyond purchasing a ticket. Some have even bought tickets for others!

We, a group of allies and friends, have created this fundraiser to make it easier for those who want to help provide tickets to people who need financial support.

Donate $1, $100, $10,000—whatever amount feels right! All contributions directly cover ticket costs for people who need help to be there.

Please share widely and let’s see how many we can help attend! Sharing this costs $0, but helps immensely.

Note: This fundraiser was created by Allies of BLACKWEEK (with permission) but is not run by BLACKWEEK themselves.
