RUSH Pride Benefit Fundraiser

RUSH Pride 2025 brings you a Pride Benefit Fundraiser in support of The Mens* Therapy Centre and Victoria Women's Transition House Society. Sunday Funday: Pride parade, Pride in the park, Pride after party @ RUSH. Want nothing more. This year we are hosting a benefit raising funds for two organizations that do amazing work in Victoria, work that directly assisting many people in our community. All of the ticket and bar proceeds will be donated to the MTC and VWTHS. Party for a cause? Very much so, yes. The Mens* Therapy Centre supports any man*: cis, gay, bi-sexual, trans, non-binary, 2spirit, queer, gender fluid+, who has experienced emotional, physical or sexual trauma in childhood or as an adult. Their vision is to enable men* who experience trauma to thrive in a community that understands and empowers them to lead fulfilling lives. The MTC is one of the only mens* centres in BC and has constant funding difficulties - gatherings of community like this party directly affects their work and whom they service. The monies donated will go towards subsidizing session fees making therapy more accessible. Victoria Women's Transition House Society Since 1974, Victoria Women’s Transition House Society collaborates, advocates and educates to address and prevent intimate partner violence of women and children through supportive shelter, housing, counselling and other community-based services. Their work is carried out from a trans-inclusive, intersectional feminist perspective as they work to make communities free of intimate partner violence and abuse. Monies donated will go towards their area of greatest at the time of donation ensuring the society continues to meet the needs of our community. This is the magic of a strong community; by showing up for each other — with music, movement, and meaning — we turn celebration into care, and care into change. Lets shine RUSH ✨
