Bad news bunnies!

Jokes aside, it is with great disappointment that we are pulling the plug on our plans to provide an Easter Service to include our inaugural Bunny Brunch + Tea Dance Revival.

It’s important that any HQP event meet specific criteria to maintain the integrity of our mission…to party with purpose.

We’d like to restate our commitment to our beneficiaries as your respective missions motivate and inspire our efforts.

Our creative juices are flowing, and we hope you’ll stay tuned as we pivot to new programming. We’d also like to thank our partners and extend our regrets as we know you were just as excited as we were to make Easter even more Q***r.
