Join us to Raise for the Ruckus 2024! Hardy Girls invites you to the 3rd Annual Raise for the Ruckus, to celebrate the brilliance of girls and nonbinary youth. Join us at the Viles House in Augusta for inspiring stories, delicious food and music, and an opportunity to learn about and support Hardy Girls’ powerful programs.
In a world that often silences youth voices, Hardy Girls programs ignite curiosity, foster critical thinking, build coalitions, and challenge the status quo with 800+ girls and nonbinary youth across Maine through year-round, statewide programs. From 4th grade through college, programs support youth to engage with feminism, connect with community, develop leadership skills so they can raise a ruckus as changemakers in their own lives.
Tickets range from $25 to $500, and include appetizers and complementary wine and beer. All proceeds will benefit Hardy Girls' programs for girls and nonbinary youth in Maine.
Raise for the Ruckus is our largest annual fundraiser, bringing together community members and program participants to invest in a future where girls and nonbinary youth are taken seriously. Together, we will connect, engage, and Raise for the Ruckus. We hope you’ll join us!
BRASS FOR ALL!

Mixed media artist Annaleah Moon Gregoire of Greenfield, Massachusetts makes sculptures that investigate and explore the boundaries between physicality, emotion, and technology.Gregoire references historical and contemporary medical and scientific documents to portray both the physical and emotional complexity that makes us human. Unpleasantly Beautiful illuminates the uncomfortable and honest pain of healing by deconstructing anatomy layer by layer, using etched glass to communicate these complex layers.In the artists own words: “By peeling back layers of flesh and bone, I am able to freely investigate the dualities of the interior and exterior as well as the grotesque and beautiful. I find beauty in looking at the remnants of transformation – what is present yet invisible, what rots over time, and what invokes a visceral reaction.”Gregoire earned a BFA in sculpture from the California College of Arts in 2021 and is currently involved with teaching art in both private and public settings. She also works as a freelance artist and runs a small apparel business featuring her illustrations.There will be an opening reception Saturday, May 4 from 2-4 pm. All are welcome.
