| Please briefly describe your organization/group and its mission or purpose: |
Cherry Bomb West Hollywood is a safe space for women and gender expansive folks in West Hollywood. Currently a hugely successful party first hosted at Stache Weho and expanding to Revolver Video Bar on March 24th, Cherry Bomb's mission is to provide the community with a much needed brick and mortar home base and safe space geared towards women and gender expansive people. We want to uplift and inspire our queer female and gender expansive community, and give them a beautiful space to eat, dance, and be merry, in the safest, most exciting, and most fun environment possible. Our parties feature all queer, lgbtq+ women and gender expansive folks- from the owners, dancers, bar tenders, DJs, emcees, comedians, artist, musicians, etc. We are dedicated to diversity from our foundation and out- and our parties are a true testament to that. Every race, every style, every one is welcome. We're all about safety, kindness, inclusion, and a damn good time.

Option 2 - Separately Produced Event

We are planning a day pool party and a night party at a West Hollywood hotel which we have already reserved and blocked off for Saturday, June 4th. We also have a brunch planned on Sunday, and will be doing a float in the parade as well.

| Will you be requesting supplemental funding from the City? |
Yes
|
Supplemental Funding
| Please describe how you would use the supplemental funding for your event/activation: |
Any funding would go first and foremost to the necessary safety officers, guards, bouncers, and staffing, followed by the event space, entertainment, decorations, and perhaps some swag. Every cent will be used towards making these events safe, beautiful, and top level.
