The Northern California Furries are a diverse group of individuals brought together by a common love of Anthropomorphic art and Entertainment. Having marched in the San Francisco parade over a number of years, we certainly have been noticed.

They awarded us "Absolutely Fabulous" in 2018, “Absolutely Outrageous” in 2019, when the parade returned in 2022 we again were confirmed to still be “Absolutely Outrageous”. Last year (2023) we even made the short list in contention for Best Contingent of the parade, and were proud to be runner-up in the final vote.

We don't do it for the recognition and awards. Northern California Furries just does it for the fun of being there to add our story to the wonderful diversity of it all and show our outrageous love for Pride. However, participating in the parade doesn't come cheap. Registration cost 473.8 this year, then insurance of the contingent will again be a few hundred dollars. Fuel, supplies and bridge tolls all add to that.

Then there’s the float. It’s still in better condition than ever but we’re now on to phase 3 plans with it. ~~We need to expand the onboard storage capacity~~ and add a few other features to make things run smoother. ~~Also storing it for a year costs money..~~ Hevily reduced plans and scope of project this year due to lack of funding.

We also need to redecorate our float each year and while our awesome banners are holding up well, we need to get some more decorations.

Oh and lastly there’s going to be a party too after the parade that some funds could be useful to direct towards that.

Thus this campaign will again have a goal of ~~$3,000. Yes that sounds like a lot but as said we have more big plans for the trailer and contingent and don’t want to aim too low.~~ $1,200 due to scaled back plans and accounting for matching funds seperately. Again Spottacus graciously is matching donations so the goal is not as far as it would seem.

All that said, with your help, I (Zoren), and Disko along with the rest of our wonderful team can reach this goal and make this year Fabulously Outrageous again.
