PLEASE go to our donation page now and Give a Damn by donating $504.72 (either a one time payment or break it up into monthly installments). You can select a date on the calendar that is important to you (your birthday, your anniversary, your partner's birthday, your coming out day, etc.) and on that date QMUNITY will be brought to you by YOU!
You Got Your Glam On
On the evening of Tuesday, December 20 there was a very special performance of the Broadway show, LA CAGES AUX FOLLES. This evening directly benefited QMUNITY. Empress Kamelle Toe and the Dogwood Monarchist Society teamed up with the Vancouver Playhouse for a remarkable evening to raise money for QMUNITY's programs and services. It was a FABULOUS evening filled with laughter, tears and music. HUGE thanks to everyone who attended and everyone who supported the evening. Your support makes QMUNITY possible.
