Live Leather Online Auction & Celebration
The Leather and Kink Communities are invited to gather online to support those who are struggling during the COVID-19 crisis. We will host performances by local folks, hold live auctions, and celebrate the Leather & LGBTQ Cultural District's 2nd Anniversary with interactive contests.
Raising funds for the Bay Area Leather Lifeline (BALL)
BALL is a fund to help kinksters and leather folks in the SF Bay Area who need immediate assistance due to sudden income loss during the COVID-19 crisis. All proceeds raised during this event go to BALL. BALL is part of the SF Bay Area Leather Alliance, a 501(c)3 non-profit organization. To make a donation directly to BALL or to request assistance, click below.
THANK YOU TO ALL OF OUR DONORS, BIDDERS AND PERFORMERS FOR MAKING THIS A FUNDRAISING EFFORT THAT WILL HELP MANY MEMBERS OF OUR COMMUNITY!
THE TOTAL FUNDS RAISED FOR BALL WILL BE POSTED SOON.
