Local Queer's Dave & Buster's Fundraiser

Local Queer is hosting a fundraiser at Dave and Buster's in Austin on Tuesday, August 18, starting at 5 PM. It's an arcade night with games and food, and the money goes to CampOUT, an organization that works to get queer people outdoors.

If you're not familiar with the cause, CampOUT focuses on queer outdoor access. For a lot of us, getting out into nature—camping, hiking, just being in the woods—can feel like a bit of a gamble when you're not sure who else is on the trail or if you'll be welcome. CampOUT is about changing that, creating spaces where queer people can get outside together and feel safe doing it. This fundraiser is one of the ways they keep that work going.

The evening is pretty straightforward: you hang out at Dave and Buster's, play games, eat, and the proceeds go toward CampOUT's mission. It's less of a formal event and more of a night out with friends, so you can drop in for a few games or settle in for the whole thing. If you've been looking for a low-pressure way to support queer outdoor access, this is a good spot to start.

It all happens at Dave and Buster's Austin on Tuesday, August 18, starting at 5 PM. The fundraiser is hosted by Local Queer, and the money goes to CampOUT.
