HONEY - OTA NIGHT

Our community is facing an urgent and unexpected challenge. With the recent liquidation of Manchester Pride, many of the resources and support that our QTIBPOC and ballroom family rely on have disappeared overnight. As a grassroots collective, we are now left without the funding that once helped us host events, provide safe spaces, and keep our culture thriving.

To keep our community afloat, we are launching a fundraiser that supports two essential needs:

1. Sudan Emergency Fund – to directly support members of the community impacted by the ongoing crisis in Sudan.

2. Our Annual Kiki Ball – one of the most important celebrations of our ballroom scene, featuring categories like Runway, Performance, and Sex Siren.

3. Our regular OTA session, which aim at creating a safe space for people to come and practice and develop their craft.

For the event, we will be throwing a little OTA (open to all function) for people to come and enjoy themselves, walk, or just have a ki with their sisters/brothers.

This year’s OTA night will be powered by DJ Chibby Lo and hosted by MC AZ 007, bringing the energy, creativity, and spirit our community deserves.

Without external support, we cannot continue the work that Manchester Pride’s funding once made possible. Your contributions help us uplift those in crisis while preserving the cultural spaces that keep our family connected, expressive, and thriving.

Every donation—big or small—makes a meaningful difference.

See you at the function🖤
