Whether you attend, perform, sponsor, or host, you’re stepping into something bigger than a one-time event; you’re joining a community committed to showing up and making a lasting impact.

In February, around Valentine’s Day, The Cottage presents this original production, inspired by The Vagina Monologues. Written and performed by women and non-binary community members, Our Bodies, Our Voices, Our Choices explores the lived experiences of women and people with vaginas through powerful monologues, poetry, dance and more.
Every spring, join us at Terrapin Beer Company for a family-friendly talent competition and fundraiser with full festival vibes. Enjoy outdoor food, drinks, games, and an unforgettable show, all while supporting survivors and strengthening our Athens community.
Every summer, join us at the UGA Golf Course for a four-person scramble with a shotgun start, cold beer, and classic barbecue. Compete for cash prizes in Longest Drive and Closest to the Pin while supporting survivors and enjoying a great day on the course.
Each November, during the season of thanks, we open our doors for a free, community-wide Open House. Enjoy drinks and appetizers, tour The Cottage, and meet our staff, board, donors, and community partners. It’s a warm, welcoming evening to say thank you and to share firsthand the work our community’s support makes possible.
Sponsor an event with The Cottage to showcase your commitment to the Athens community while gaining meaningful brand visibility. Your support fuels free, life-changing services for survivors, and positions your business as a trusted local leader who shows up when it matters.
