APRÈS FOR CHANGE
Building A Community Of Opportunity. Help Zero Ceiling Empower Youth To Thrive.
Join us on Saturday, October 19, 2024, at Dusty’s Bar & BBQ for an après-ski experience like no other. Hosted by RuPaul’s Drag Race star Gia Metric, this night is your chance to don your best retro ski gear, kick off the winter season, and make a real difference for young people facing homelessness.
The incredible Foxy Moron, Whistler’s own icon, will be spinning beats to keep us dancing all night long. Expect non-stop entertainment, plus your ticket includes a complimentary drink, a delicious dinner, and all the fun you can handle!
We’ve recently secured new housing that allows us to welcome more young people into our Work 2 Live program. We’re aiming to raise $100,000 on this night alone, contributing to our overall year-end goal of $350,000. By attending Après For Change, you’ll be directly supporting our end of year goal.
Help us reach $100,000 during the event through exciting activities like our live auction, raffle, and the Vines & Spirits wall. Plus, get a head start with our silent auction, which opens Wednesday, October 2, 2024.
Tickets:
- Early Bird: $95 + taxes & fees (while quantities last)
- General Admission: $105 + taxes & fees
Don’t miss your chance to be part of a night filled with hope, fun, and impact. Every dollar you give helps create a stable future for youth who need it most.
Grab your tickets, get your retro gear ready, and join us for Après For Change—together, we’ll make this winter unforgettable!
