Commerce with Purpose
We believe that thriving local business and strong community well-being go hand in hand. A dedicated portion of every event sponsorship directly supports The LOVE>hate Project’s mission of ending interpersonal violence through their Prison Programs, Presentations, Podcast, and Music Scholarship Program.
