Not only did the drag-a-thon make history, but supporters raised $285,000 for The Trevor Project, a nonprofit that works to prevent suicide among LGBTQ youth.
"It's just unbelievable the support in our community at a time when the trans community, the drag community is under attack," performer Poison Waters said. "There've been tears, laughter. It's just amazing."The drag-a-thon was also the unofficial kick off to Portland’s Pride week.
"I swear the only city that could’ve pulled this off was Portland," event producer Emma Mcilroy said. "The only place that people were going to come out at 3 a.m., 4 a.m, was Portland. How could you get a better kickoff to pride than this?", who was the oldest working drag performer on Earth when he died in March at 92 years old.
