"The Blue Ball" (Drag Bus)

Ride a bus filled with folks all dressed in the same colored attire. We go bar and restaurant hopping, converging on the patrons (bringing stares, laughter and delight, plenty of photo opportunities), raise money and distribute information for that year’s cause.

Media presentation of the Blue Ball and past events, entertainment, award ceremony, and prizes for the most money raised.

The Blue Ball Pride Float

As the official kick-off for the Blue Ball, we entered a float into the 2007 Pride Parade on Sunday June 24th (the Blue Ball Bus Party fundraiser for Testicular/Prostate Cancer will be Saturday August 11th).

The theme for the Pride parade was "Coming Together" (I had nothing to do with this!). So, I decided our theme would be "Coming Together for a Cause". Our blue hued float will showcased Mariah Carey's 13 foot legs with blue parade float fluff, balloons, music, etc.

"Pretty in Pink" (Drag Bus)

The 2006 event, “Pretty in Pink” benefited breast cancer research.

At this first fundraising event, we raised over $5,000. The event was enjoyed by participants and the restaurant/bar patrons (even the people on the street).

Scavenger Hunt

A Scavenger Hunt was organized that consisted of two parts: two lists with points varying depending on the degree of difficulty. One list was the traditional idea of some not-so-traditional objects; the second list was photographs to be taken of specific people, places, or tasks performed.

Game Parties

Game Parties were hosted with admission going to charities.

PROMiscuous

PROMiscuous to benefit Eric from the Lashes band. He was partially paralyzed in an accident. The prom-themed birthday party was for the lovely ladies Jamie Stratton and Kindra Meyer. A wild time was had by all aboard the bus tour (gotta love the mechanical bull at Cowgirls inc.) and the huge party at the Rendezvous

Cooking Parties

Cooking Parties were held at a beautiful home where the guest chef demonstrated several courses. Each participant made a donation that went to the Windermere Foundation to help families in need and also to a fund for a young man that had his leg amputated after a train accident at Carkeek Park.
