We are proud to name The LOVE>hate Project as our designated beneficiary, ensuring our growth directly funds transformative community programs and violence prevention initiatives. The LOVE>hate Project was born from unimaginable loss and exists to answer one question. What if love is stronger than hate, even after violence?
Their mission is to end interpersonal violence, promote Forgiveness, and presence Love.

Etzler Events has a variety of events. We aim to keep all community events free to the public which means everyone can come!
In a world that can feel increasingly divided, we believe that people are far more than the labels often placed upon them. To us, the collective is strengthened when we move past categories and simply focus on how we treat one another. We welcome anyone who arrives with kindness and an open heart. At our events, the only "standard" is the respect we show our neighbors, ensuring every guest feels safe, seen, and valued.
