Clock out. Dress up. Dance for a cause.
Join the BIPOC Student Midwives Fund (BSMF) for OFF CALL: an afternoon of music, dancing, community, and celebration in support of BIPOC student midwives. You don't have to be a midwife to party with us! Bring your friends, chosen family, birth-worker crew, or anyone who wants to have a good time while investing in BIPOC student midwives. Together, let's raise $10,000 for BIPOC student midwives.
NOTE: This is a 21+ event. A valid ID is required for entry.
WHY WE'RE DANCING
We're setting out to raise $10,000 through OFF CALL to support the work of the BIPOC Student Midwives Fund. BSMF works to reduce the financial, educational, and mentorship barriers BIPOC student midwives can experience on their path to becoming midwives. Through skills training, apprenticeship support, mentorship, community building, and support transitioning into practice, we're working to make it possible for more BIPOC student midwives to complete their education and thrive in the profession. Your ticket isn't just getting you onto the dance floor, it's helping us invest directly in BIPOC student midwives.
