MESSAGE FROM THE BOARD
After quite a bit of fundraising work throughout our first year back, we’re looking at ways where we can best use what we’ve raised to benefit the local community.
After seed money set aside for Back Alley 2023, we’re looking to open up opportunities to provide grants, budget, and donations to other local groups and organizations. We want to be one of the strongest advocates for groups who are helping strive toward our vision of a cohesive leather, BDSM, kink, and fetish community in the Rocky Mountain region.
We do not have anything official to announce yet on this front, but our hope is that we can begin enabling other groups and events to go above and beyond by equipping them with the resources they need to succeed.
