SUPPORT JAMAICA'S DOLL BALL

Donation protected
Connek Ja is celebrating Pride in Jamaica this August! HAPPY PRIDE! Jamaicans are a proud people. We celebrate the likes of Bob Marley and Usain Bolt, but what about the iconic, gender expansive, Grace Jones? Sadly, anti-LGBTQIA+ hate remains rampant in Jamaica. We're changing that.




We're CONNEK, JA and we're reshaping Jamaica's relationship with queerness. Our org brings visibility to the legacy of queer Jamaica through a wide variety of local experiences.

Our Doll Ball Vol 1 last year was a HUGE success,
but we need YOUR HELP bringing Doll Ball to life again.

Put your money where your pride is.

We’re raising a total of $15,000 to cover the cost of:
  • Venue Rental
  • Event Security
  • Food & Refreshments
  • Transportation
  • Fair Wages for All Event Workers
  • Airfare (our org involves folks throughout the Jamaican Diaspora)
  • Event Set Up and Take Down
  • Additional Funds Raised will Go Towards Supporting Future Connek Endeavors


Every dollar counts! THANK YOU!

More Ways to Support:
  • SHARE this fundraiser with friends on Twitter, IG, Facebook and via email
  • Fundraise at your Pride party

Our goals are:

  • To connect queer people and allies in and outside of Jamaica through events in Jamaica and NYC.

  • To maintain a transnational presence as a traveling resource center with programming in Jamaica and NYC.
