SoMa Nightclub Oasis Surpasses Fundraising Goal at Telethon With $270K Raised
Oasis appears to be saved, after a 12-hour telethon last weekend that brought an entire community of drag queens to its SoMa stage, and raised over $268,000 in the process. Now I have so much hope and courage, not just for Oasis. We want a real San Francisco to be here when this is over, said Oasis owner D Arcy Drollinger from the telethon stage on Saturday, as the total raised tipped $150,000 with the original goal of the event being $100,000. What we re doing now is banking on the future, so we can keep the rent paid, the bills paid, and weather the storm so we can be here when this is over.
