Celebrate community and Valentine’s Day at Stonewall Youth’s Cherubs and Charms All-Ages Drag Show Fundraiser!

Our last show, Sweets and Scares, was such a hit that we decided to expand Cherubs and Charms to span TWO DAYS with TWO UNIQUE CASTS! We'll showcase a variety of drag performers with an emphasis on youth performers.

We host these events to raise funds to support youth job opportunities, support groups, art programs, and our other work with LGBTQ2S+ youth. These are family-friendly and celebratory events. It has been delightful to have entire extended families attend together!

There will be snacks, handmade lino print merch, stickers, a photo booth, performances, AND MORE! You can have a blast watching talented performers AND know that everything you donate goes towards supporting queer and trans youth.

Join us on Friday, February 7 at 6-9pm and/or Saturday, February 8 at 4-7pm. $20+ suggested entry donation each night, and as always, FREE FOR YOUTH! No one will be turned away for lack of funds.

Early Bird Catches the Lovebug: The first 50 people who buy tickets for each night will receive an exclusive Cherubs and Charms goodie bag!

If you’re able, we wholeheartedly appreciate folks paying above the ticket cost so we can continue to afford to offer discounted and free tickets to youth and low-income people.

You’re invited to sponsor Cherubs and Charms: An All-Ages Drag Show Fundraiser for Stonewall Youth!

We’re inviting you to sponsor the show by donating $50 -$1,000. We’ll show our appreciation beyond the perk of your generosity being tax-deductible by tailoring a promotional plan that is beneficial for you.

This will be a community-building event for people of all ages. Beyond raising funds, this event is an opportunity for youth performers to be highlighted on stage, earn funds, and gain confidence and experience.

Your sponsorship will not only help us create this event, which is a microcosm of Stonewall Youth’s work as a whole, but will boost our ability to continue doing what we do best: caring for our local communities.

For every $200 donated, you can choose one of our suggested options from the list below or we’ll work with you to design a unique option:

  • An audible “Thank you!” to you made by our host during the event

  • Your logo displayed on a prominent banner during the event

  • Your logo displayed on our website for the remainder of the quarter

No matter how much you donate we would love to express our gratitude by including you in a social media post in which we tag all of our sponsors.

The Open Call for youth and non-youth performers for the Charms and Cherubs All-Ages Benefit Drag Show closed on January 1. So many people were interested in performing that we decided to do two shows!
