About this Event

On Thursday, June 18th, ten aspiring speakers will take the stage and share their take on this June's theme: BECOMING. Five minutes each. Raw, real and unforgettable. These are people from your community, maybe your neighbor, your colleague or your friend, who have worked hard to craft and deliver a talk that will move you. Come ready to laugh, feel something and leave inspired.

And here's the thing about Drop The Mic Night — you're not just an audience member. You're a cheerleader. Literally. We hand out pom poms at the door because that energy in the room? That's what carries our speakers through. The more people we pack into that room, the louder the cheers, and the more powerful the experience becomes for everyone on that stage.

Your ticket also includes food, drinks (alcoholic and non-alcoholic) and the kind of genuine, warm community-building that keeps people coming back event after event. This isn't a stuffy fundraiser. It's a party with a purpose.

And that purpose is real. Every dollar raised goes directly to Next Girl Up, a 501(c) nonprofit organization empowering the next generation of girls to lead with confidence, creativity and courage. Through their curriculum, students learn foundational marketing concepts, explore financial literacy, and learn how to start a business.


By showing up, you're doing two things at once: giving an aspiring speaker the moment they've been working toward, and investing in a girl right here in your community who is just getting started.

That's a pretty great reason to buy two (or more) tickets and bring someone with you.
