Proud Together Fundraiser

May 11, 2026 by Raymond Mueller

Please help California Men’s Gatherings (CMG) raise needed funds during Pride season 2026.  In 2025, 79 of the 250 men who attended Camp were supported by donations from others, both first time attendees receiving a discount and returnees receiving financial aid. That was an incredible thing!

This year we hope to engage more men by expanding our efforts. You can help us by making a one time tax deductible donation today so we can reach our goal of $10K by June 30! Every tax-deductible dollar you donate can offset the cost of Sending a Man to Camp! $25 can provide a Gathering T-shirt, $100 can provide an incentive for an undecided First Timer, or partial support for one of our veterans $500 can provide a full scholarship for someone who would never be there without their brothers’ support!

Since 1978, CMG has supported people of all ages, ethnicities, and sexualities by “Connecting Men at the Heart!” CMG is a safe, playful community for all men to grow emotionally, spiritually and socially. Yearly, we offer three All Inclusive* Weekend Gatherings with a variety of themes designed to help us grow individually and as a group. Thousands of men, from every corner of California, other states and countries, have participated. We share time in nature to learn, love, laugh and lean on other men willing to share their knowledge and experience.

Local Event Committees (LEC) in San Diego, Desert Cities, SF Bay Area, Los Angeles and Sacramento (theCMG.org/join) bring it home. Coffee Klatches, Pool Parties, Bon Fire Potlucks, Nature Hikes and Dine About Towns serve nearly one thousand men annually. On-line events provide Gay and Bisexual men (from around the world) opportunities to connect virtually. Estate Seminars, Film/book Reviews, Game Nights and even Heart Circles are available for anyone with internet or phone access. These LECs help to promote the concepts and the message of the gatherings at our core.

CMG is all volunteer. People with a kaleidoscope of talents offer their time to make things happen, so 100% of your donation offsets operating costs for those gatherings. Many men value our teamwork but do not have the time to volunteer, so we offer this opportunity to support The CMG.

Below we have full instructions. Please make a donation today!

To reduce costs, Zelle is our favorite option! Please add memo of “Proud Together” no matter how you choose to donate!

April 8, 2017 by Richard Hall

Currently we are developing a new website that is much more contemporary and friendly on all devices. It hopefully will be more visually appealing and make use of new imagery.
