Bear Underwear Auction and Rainbow Connection

Auction, Community, Fundraiser

This week Michael chats to Joenas, Mr Vicbears 2024 about the Underwear Charity Auction happening at the Laird Hotel to raise money for Pride Foundation Australia. Supported by Thorne Harbour, the event will see local bear-lebrities strip down to their jocks and auction their garments off to the crowd!

Rainbow Connection Coordinator David Kavanagh also tells us about this program that connects older LGBTIQ+ people with younger volunteers for social connection.
