I was made to be wild, wicked and free,
to carve out my own destiny,
find a place in this world where I can be
the most authentic version of me.

– poem by Christy Ann Martin

Wild Aftermath (updated 3/14):  We had an amazing Wild night on Saturday eve! Contributions by a dozen artists & groups, 20+ volunteers, and 130+ total guests made this event a success, and helped us raise a net of $876 (after eventbrite fees) for Burners Without Borders.  WOOHA!

Our EventBrite link for BWB fundraising is now closed, so you may opt to donate to the “South Bay Burners” non-profit Regional Contact group to provide support to our local Burner community and artists.  Find out how!
