The House Of Dandridge has garnered quite the reputation for one of the most unique and creative events celebrating the legacy of Madonna, the queen of pop! Kicking things off with a ‘Reinventions Benefit Concert’, featuring a wonderful array of talented NYC musicians, drag queens and performance artists who reinterpret and reinvent songs from Madonna’s vast catalogue, the event raises money this year for Proyecto Matria.

Proyecto Matria is a social, community, feminist and human rights nonprofit organization. Their mission is to transform society and advance equity through actions aimed at educating, promoting and facilitating the empowerment and economic development of women and other excluded groups.

For 14 years, Matria has given housing, education, employment and business opportunities to women who are survivors of gender-based violence, women who lead low-income families and people from the LGBTQ communities. It has also worked to educate communities and professionals on issues of equity and has been a supporter for important causes of human rights. Precisely because of its history of work with inequality, poverty and violence-prone communities, Matria was on foot from day one after Hurricane Maria to provide immediate assistance to about 50 families of women and LGBT people already involved in their programs.

***Immediately after the fundraiser, DJ Chauncey D takes the helm and spins Madonna tracks and remixes, from rare to popular, from within her entire 30+ year career to a jubilant, packed to capacity crowd of Madonna superfans and novices alike. The event takes place on the second floor of the legendary Stonewall Inn on Christopher Street in the heart of the West Village on Saturday, August 18th a few short days after her 60th birthday. The party is usually so popular it spills on down into the first floor bar, the power of #MADONNAWORSHIP takes over the city for the night and is the talk of the town for months and months following!
