Donate & Help us Grow!

Help us celebrate one year of Velvet Rabbit and kick off year two!
Your support funds our August Block Party, our Birthday/Board Game Bash in September, and sets us up to keep hosting sober events through the holidays. Our goal is $1,000 — but more than a number, we’re looking for people willing to stand with us every month as we grow. Even $10/month keeps food on the table and safe spaces open for our community.

Why Your Support Matters

Velvet Rabbit is completely community-funded. That means every game night, every vision board, every meal shared, and every moment of connection we create — it all happens because people like you believe in what we’re building.

When you give, you’re not just donating money — you’re making sure someone walking into their first sober event feels welcomed, supported, and seen. You’re helping us keep our events free (or low cost), highlight sober-friendly spaces in Akron, and dream bigger for the future of this community.

How to Give

  • One-Time Gifts: Help us cover immediate needs like supplies for events, snacks, and outreach materials.

  • Monthly Support: Become part of our “crew” — monthly gifts keep our programs running and help us plan future events with confidence.

  • In-Kind Donations: Want to donate snacks, drinks, or event supplies? We love that too.

Every single dollar makes a difference. We’re grateful for every person who believes in this work — you’re part of every laugh, every friendship, and every new beginning that happens here.
