Pattie Gonia raised over $1 million from nearly 35,000 donors for eight nonprofits promoting diversity and access to the outdoors during a 100-mile drag hike.
- On December 6, Pattie Gonia completed a week-long, 100-mile trek in full drag from Point Reyes National Seashore, crossing the Golden Gate Bridge, and finished with a show at San Francisco's The Warfield.

- Around 34,700 individual donors helped push the fundraiser past its goal, with each of the eight nonprofits receiving $145,986 b, according to campaign data.
