-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

From Fabulosa's Website:

Our Collective
The FABULOSA Collective creates fundraising parties where women and friends come together outdoors to raise money for women and youth-oriented causes.  The FABULOSA collective was initially the idea of El Rio owner Dawn Huston, and musicians Judea Eden and Jenny Hoyston, but has grown to a dozen members in 10 years. 


Our Annual Weekend Gathering
FABULOSA is an inclusive, feminist fundraising gathering for women, their families, and friends of all genders.  We camp and swim.  We invite bands and DJs to perform.  We invite healers to offer services (like massage, chiropractic, etc.).  We invite crafters to sell their wares in our marketplace.  We invite fun and sunshine to fill us with joy.  We smile.  We love being out in nature.

FABULOSA Event Proceeds
Our community is stunning, diverse and deserving of nurture. Many organizations that serve our women and youth need additional help to ensure that their work remains possible. FABULOSA recycles much-needed funds back into the community by donating  proceeds to charities that serve the Bay Area and beyond, with focus on women and youth in need.
