Booty Vista Social Club: a Benefit For The Cuban People
Sunday, March 30, 2025
The Den, Portland
4PM to 9PM // 21+

Join us for a night of music, art, and real impact. Presented by Bootycorp in partnership with Spacelounge (a startup international nongovernmental collective focused on art, music, fashion, and housing), this isn't just a party - it's a lifeline for Cuba. Your presence directly supports crucial aid during unimaginable hardships.

WHY THIS EVENT MATTERS

Cuba is in crisis. Basic supplies are nearly impossible to find due to recent crackdowns. Rolling blackouts are still leaving precious food to rot in refrigerators due to a failing infrastructure. We've witnessed the desperation firsthand.

Havana: A young father's only option for his two-year-old's milk? Sugarcane juice. For under $30 we filled his pantry, and the child's joy was unforgettable.

Viñales: Ebenecer Ballart Ramos, a community leader running a youth art program, explained that $1,500 can sustain his kids for a year – food, clothing, and art supplies.

These are real stories from real people – our friends in Cuba – who urgently need our help. We are committed to continuing our legacy of impactful and community-driven support.

OUR IMPACT & FUNDING

Every dollar raised (after minimal expenses) goes directly to the Cuban people. These donations support:

Essentials: Purchasing desperately needed basic goods and supplies (pencils, surgical needles, bandaids, etc.).

Local Businesses: Boosting Cuban-owned businesses.

Community Partners: Direct material contributions to trusted leaders on the ground.

Plus, for those wanting to make a local impact, you can direct a portion of your ticket to support Place Initiative’s vital work in Portland, focusing on climate action and humanitarian projects here at home.

WHAT’S HAPPENING

Get ready for an unforgettable night!

OUR LEGACY & OUR TEAM
We believe in community. From pandemic food pantries, to inclusive festivals, we've always prioritized impact over profit. This event is no different. Bootycorp team members are donating our time and resources to maximize your contribution. All proceeds directly support the people of Cuba and local Portland initiatives.

WHY NOW?
Why now? Because your contribution has incredible power. Cuba is at a breaking point. Just a small amount can deliver hope, essential supplies, and dignity to our friends who desperately need it. This isn't just charity; it's about real change, empowering communities and strengthening global bonds.

Join us March 30th for a night of culture, creativity, and compassion. Let's ignite hope for Cuba, together. Through all the suffering, and true hunger… the people of Cuba continue to smile, make music, dance, and sing, even though they may be unable to obtain enough food month to month.

We are conscientious and aware that there exists suffering and need everywhere, and this is something we have the power, connections, inspiration, and ability to make happen now! By mid-April, Cubans on the ground in La Habana and Viñales (a smaller provincial town) will experience the impact of our efforts.

Let’s dance, connect, and have a fun time on a Sunday in Portland, Oregon, to bring on-the-ground support and hope to Cuba!
