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.

Each February around Valentine’s Day, The Cottage presents a local production of The Vagina Monologues: a lively, hilarious, and deeply moving performance exploring sexuality, relationships, reproduction, and sexual violence through powerful monologues. Join us for an unforgettable evening of storytelling that sparks conversation and supports survivors in our community.
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-man 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.
