In August of 2005, three longtime friends (David, Kevin, and Tim) bought a house in San Francisco's oh-so-gay Castro district, where they were later joined by their friend Jon. They were barely in before they opened their home for amazing parties and fundraisers, which to date have included:
The Balls-Out Ball, a fundraiser for the SF Fog Rugby Team with Varla Jean Merman, Ethel Merman, and co-emcees Donna Sachet and Greg the Gay Sportscaster
A Midsummer Night's Dream fundraiser for Community United Against Violence with adult star Brent Corrigan
In 2006, the BGFH raised $17,000 net profit for charitable causes. For more information about our parties and events, check out:
