Freehouse x Absolut present

Free to Be: finding a place to embrace your true authenticity

The Campaign

Let Your Light Shine

This year, Freehouse has partnered with Absolut Vodka to create a limited edition Bright Lights cocktail wrapped in celebratory artwork designed by Toronto based artist Tim Singleton. For every cocktail sold, we're donating $1 to not-for-profit organization, Rainbow Railroad which helps at-risk LGBTQI+ people around the world find safety and freedom.

The Cause

Rainbow Railroad

Rainbow Railroad is an international organization that helps LGBTQI+ people escape violence and persecution to find a path to safety through emergency relocation and other forms of assistance. This Pride season, we're showing our solidarity by joining their 'Solidarity in Pride' campaign to raise $50,000 on Tiltify.
