Connect Fund-raiser

March 27, 2025 // 8pm // Doors + Bar 6:30pm

$10 + $40 + fees

This is live music and performance to raise money for Connect Fund. Connect Fund helps pay for gender-affirming care not covered by provincial health care. Help us raise funds for folks who need our help. All proceeds from ticket sales and merch will go directly to people who need the care. This is our first fundraiser! Come out and support us. Across Canada, 2SLGBTQ+ people face higher levels of poverty. They face a lack of culturally-competent healthcare providers. They face long wait times to get care. They can face discrimination when they do receive it. The Connect Fund can change all that. We pay for care for those who need it. If your application is successful, The Connect Fund will send funds directly to your care provider.

We will fund expenses including:

• Private hormone appointments
• Surgery costs not covered by the public system
• Post-surgical supplies
• Sperm and egg freezing
• Facial hair removal
• Mental health services
• Private surgery assessments

Like its ambisextrous namesake, Buddies’ in-house bar and performance space Tallulah’s Cabaret does it all. It’s throbbing club nights and community tap dance lessons. High-concept drag and low-stakes open mics. Go for pre-drinks but stay late for the post-show discourse—maybe even spark that next collaboration. With local brews and sober options that aren’t an after-thought, Tallulah’s is the come-as-you-are bar for old friends, new lovers, partiers, poets, and curious passerby. See you under the chandeliers.

Tallulah’s Cabaret is open Wednesday to Sunday from 6:00pm to midnight (or later).
