Reign 49 Upcoming Events

Hello,

Emperor Sean Gooden and Empress Autumn Quinn are eager to get to work and make a meaningful impact on the year ahead. They would like it to be known that they acknowledge the challenges ahead; however, they are committed to facing these obstacles head-on and continuing to move forward with determination and strength.

To kick off their reign, the Monarchs and Prince Royal Anthony Garcia and Princess Royal Kakalina Cornick are pleased to announce a Victory Party this Saturday at Bar K to raise funds for their travel fund for the year. Everyone is invited to join them for an evening of celebration, with the party beginning at 7:30 PM and an exciting show at 8:30 PM. For those unable to attend in person, the monarchs challenge you to donate your reign number in dollars to support their travel efforts. To donate, you can go to https://ucppe.org/donations/ with the note for the travel fund. You can also contact the monarchs directly to give in other ways.

Additionally, on November 19, 2024, at 7:00 PM, the monarchs will host a Community Candlelight Vigil in honor of the victims of the Club Q tragedy. This event will take place in the Club Q parking lot, and all are encouraged to attend and pay their respects.

The monarchs are pleased to announce that they have partnered with four venues to host their recurring fundraising efforts. One of our first sponsors, Bar K, has generously extended its support to the Monarchs’ fundraising efforts. On the last Saturday of every month, Bar K will host events to support the Monarchs’ cause. On November 30, the Monarchs will host a Kickoff Celebration at Bar K, starting at 8:00 PM.

The monarchs ask that everyone please save the date of December 14 for Investitures 49: A Collection of Villains. The location and time will be announced soon.

We are excited to see you at our events.

Signed,
