Kinky Squares Wrapup

This past Saturday we held our fall charity fundraising event, Kinky Squares. Teams from throughout our community representing the Atons of Minneapolis, Knights of Leather, North Star Kennel Club, Minnesota Leather Sex Project, DsMN and Twin Cities Leather each donated an entry fee in order participate. The winner of the event would then get to donate all the team fees to the charity of their choice.

Twin Cities Leather was the winner of the first Kinky Squares, and in a moment that showed the continued generosity of our community asked that the money be split with the second place team, North Star Kennel Club. Because of their generosity we will be donating $300 on behalf of Twin Cities Leather to Youthlink (http://www.youthlinkmn.org) and $300 on behalf of the North Star Kennel Club to Secondhand Hounds (http://secondhandhounds.org), a no-kill shelter. Other charities that our teams were playing for were Reclaim (http://reclaim.care/) and Avenues for Homeless Youth (http://avenuesforyouth.org/).

Thank you toThe Saloon for giving us the space, and the services of Nick our event guru, and our most awesome bartender Ryan! Thank you to all of our awesome volunteers; Mark, David, Sterling, Jeff, Pup Omega, Christopher, Jodi and Dylan, and everyone else who stepped up to help even if they weren’t ‘officially’ volunteers. Thank you to our wonderful committee members; Kitten, Andrew, Bobbie, Cameron, Chaz, and Rakhi, and our Board Event Coordinator, Vicki, who kept us on track and gave us room to run.
