๐ Why It Matters: ๐
Northside Bizarre raises vital funds for Thorne Harbour Healthโs services, including the David Williams Fund for people living with HIV. Over the years, the event has raised tens of thousands of dollars, thanks to community support and our long-standing partnership with The Laird.
โItโs a fundraiser, first and foremost โ but also a day that brings so many of our tribes together. Thereโs simply nothing else like it,โ โ Cal Hawk, Thorne Harbour Health.
