On Saturday, March 4th, we’re celebrating Roar Cat Reads’ 2nd anniversary by hosting our fourth q***r-led online charity event to raise $2,000 for Prism Collective, a Rainbow Refugee Circle of Hope. With TTRPG sessions, video game streaming and a silent auction, there are many ways you help us raise money for a good cause!

Rainbow Refugee is a non-profit organization based in Vancouver, BC. They support people seeking refugee protection in Canada due to persecution based on sexual orientation, gender identity, gender expression, or HIV status. Roar Cat Reads is raising money for Prism Collective, a small group who are raising $25,000 to help one LGBTQ+ refugee move to Vancouver.
