If the ticket price is beyond what you’re able to pull off at the moment, no worries–we’ve been there and we’ve got you. We want this event to be accessible to all BAYS members who want to attend, without any added stress. To request a sliding-scale or full-scholarship option, email Katie McKnight at superbloomsoiree@gmail.com. Your request will be confidential and processed without judgment. Don’t let cost stand in the way of joining this 20-year milestone.

Come as your authentic self, dressed as casual or formal as your heart desires. In honor of the BAYS-MITC Superbloom theme, an explosion of floral and orange (our BAYS color) is encouraged but not required. Need access to some party hair? Ask about our Wig Library in the BAYS slack community or send an email to superbloomsoiree@gmail.com.

The ticket price includes passed heavy hors d’oeuvres and bites with vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free options available. Beer, wine, cocktails, and non-alcoholic beverages will be available as an additional purchase. Please email us at superbloomsoiree@gmail.com if you have any dietary restrictions we should know about in advance.

All profits from donations and profits from ticket, raffle, and silent auction sales will support breast cancer survivors living in the Bay Area in need of support. This includes support group meetings with free transit, childcare, and food; social and educational events; a vibrant online network; direct financial support to members in need; community outreach & cancer prevention education; and support groups & activities for metastatic breast cancer members in our Mets in the City (MITC) subgroup.

While masks will be optional, we ask that you consider the health and safety of our members when attending this event. BAYS serves moderately and severely immunocompromised individuals, so if you are not feeling well (e.g., COVID-19 like symptoms, the flu, common cold, etc.) in advance of the event, please stay home. If you have any questions about this policy you may contact superbloomsoiree@gmail.com.

For members who are practicing additional caution, there will be a covered outdoor area attached to the restaurant with space heaters available to celebrate in an open-air setting. We plan to set up a separate buffet table in the outdoor area for guests who would like to remain in an open-air setting for most or all of the event. If you have any concerns or would like to see photos of the space in advance of the event, please reach out to Katie McKnight (superbloomsoiree@gmail.com).

We appreciate any extra hands to help ensure this event is one to remember! Please email us at superbloomsoiree@gmail.com.

Most of the BAYS’ $30,000 budget comes from donations, and we have set a $100,000 fundraising goal for this event. This funding ensures that we can serve more than 100 new members who join BAYS every year while providing meaningful programming for all our members for years to come. We are looking for sponsors at all levels. We are also hosting a silent auction and raffle, so donations in the form of donated items for the auction/raffle are also welcome!

We searched high and low to find a replacement venue that met all of our criteria, and we’ve found a new location! It’s (drumroll please)… Calavera restaurant in Oakland!

We’re very excited to have found a location not far from our original venue that has it all–from great food, to plenty of room for a dance floor and our silent auction, to a covered outdoor space with heaters that feels connected and inclusive. There will be no changes to the event other than the new venue location (2337 Broadway, Oakland, CA).
