FundRAGER Silent Auction

The current demand for our services outweighs DanceSafe’s capacity. Funds raised from the concurring event and silent auction will go towards new peer-to-peer and volunteer training development, outreach supplies such as literature, sunscreen, condoms, earplugs, boothing supplies, etc., and travel costs.

DanceSafe is a 501(c)(3) public health non-profit dedicated to promoting health and safety within the nightlife and electronic music communities. DanceSafe has two fundamental operating principles: harm reduction and peer-based, popular education. Combining these two principles has enabled us to create successful, peer-based educational programs to reduce drug misuse and empower young people to make healthy, informed lifestyle choices. We are known for bringing adulterant screening (a.k.a., “pill testing,” “drug checking”) to the rave and nightlife community in the U.S., and for distributing unbiased educational literature describing the effects and risks associated with the use of various drugs.

We were established in 1998, but in the past five years alone, DanceSafe has provided peer-to-peer education and harm reduction services at 250+ events, including Detroit Electronic Music Festival, TomorrowWorld, Mysteryland, Electric Forest, Symbiosis, Imagine, Lightning in a Bottle, and many more, serving 800,000+ people. Recently, we have been featured in The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, Al Jazeera, The Katie Couric Show, HuffPost Live, VICE, Rolling Stone, Billboard, among others for our innovative work.
