Celebrate the spirit of community and connection at our inaugural Christmas in July fundraiser! Hosted by the Lavender Impact Fund, this festive afternoon brings together 30 local queer-owned vendors and makers for a curated "Shop Local" experience in the heart of Akron. Enjoy light bites, drinks, and competitive Queer Trivia while exploring the beautiful galleries of Summit ArtSpace.

Most importantly, your presence helps ensure that healing remains accessible to all. All proceeds directly fund Carve Your Own Path’s sliding pay scale, providing trauma-informed, LGBTQIA+ affirming mental health care to those facing systemic barriers. Special thanks to our media sponsor, Plexus LGBTQIA+ & Allied Chamber of Commerce, for supporting this mission.
