DSH NYC's 2023
Virtual Benefit
Drag Story Hour NYC's 2023 Benefit
VIRTUAL
It is our honor to invite you to join Drag Story Hour NYC to celebrate an incredible year of programming, successes, glitter, and growth at our first annual benefit. We hope that you’ll join us ONLINE on Friday, November 17th from 7 PM - 8:30 PM along with our storytellers, board members, and supporters in a celebration of gender diversity, drag equity, and forward momentum!
The event will be emceed by our very own Harmonica Sunshine!
This past year has been a challenging one for drag artists and the greater LGBTQ+ community. Yet, against all odds, our programming is stronger than ever, our directive and approach is unflappable, and our community reach extends even further. Drag Story Hour NYC’s Benefit will be a fun and fabulous night where we can celebrate all we’ve accomplished together, with speakers, performances, raffles, games, and award honorees!
Please note: DSH NYC has changed the format of this benefit, from an in-person to an ONLINE event, in order to mitigate any potential security issues. Thank you for your understanding.
If you'd like to become a sponsor for our event or for more information, please reach out to Yun-Hee Proffit (Executive Director, Drag Story Hour NYC) yun-hee@dshnyc.org
