The HoeDown returns with a country-queer, hog-tied, stigma bustin' hootenanny - Get ready to ride!

The HoeDown is ASHwell's country-queer, gender-bendy, backyard BBQ extravaganza! 100% of proceeds directly fund the cost of life-saving care for Central Texans living with HIV or Hep C.

YEE-HAW Y'ALL!

On November 1st at the Distribution Hall from 4PM - 10PM we're strapping in and dusting off the chaps for our 2nd Annual HoeDown - ASHwell's new signature party with a purpose! We'll have BBQ, bull-riding, a live auction, photo booths, games, performances, and more. Look out for updates in your inbox or on our Instagram page for updates on performances, vendors, sponsors and more.

ATTIRE

Don't be basic. We're aiming to be a hootin' an' a hollerin' with for our fellow country kings, leather queers and kinky cowgirls! Think leather Johnny Cash, kinky Dolly Parton and some good ol' super gay Willy in a 10 gallon. Then, to make it really sparkle, ADD MORE STRAPS, BUCKLES, RHINESTONES, BOOTS, AND ROPE!


THE IMPACT

  • Did you know that ASHwell will buy a health insurance plan for our folks who don't have coverage? That's Central Texans living with HIV, Hep C or who want to get on PrEP/PeP. We'll even cover the cost of co-pays and medications!
  • Did you know that in addition to all that, we offer social support services like help managing our Patient Members' other medical appointments, peer support groups and even direct assistance for housing, transportation or utilities?
  • Did you know that we do all this in a pleasure positive, kink loving, stigma free, harm reduction environment that centers and celebrates queer and trans people of color?

Now you know!

THE HOEDOWN LOWDOWN

100% of proceeds directly, literally, fund the cost of life-saving care for Central Texans living with HIV or Hep C. All the funds raised at The HoeDown are funneled directly into paying for insurance premiums, co-pays, medical treatments and all the social support services listed above + so much more. At ASHwell, health equity is queen. We're throwing down for the HoeDown because we're fixin' to keep on saving lives and with your ticket purchase and/or sponsorship, SO ARE YOU!
