✨ SpeedFriending at Thunderbird Lounge! Make Friends, Build Community ✨
Have you been craving more genuine connections? Are you looking to meet new people?
SpeedFriending is a fun, welcoming community event designed to help people make new friends, feel a sense of belonging, and connect with others in a way that feels natural, low-pressure, and human.
Hosted by Greenhouse Gives, this event is all about creating space for laughter, shared experiences, and meaningful connection—without the expectations of dating or the pressure to perform.
🌍 What You Should Know
● Free / donation-based community event ($0.77 online ticket processing fee required for Thunderbird Lounge)
● Hosted by Greenhouse Gives, a nonprofit dedicated to compassion, awareness, and interconnectedness
● Designed intentionally for adult friendship, not dating
● Facilitated to feel safe, welcoming, and inclusive
So many people want deeper connection—but don’t know where to find it. SpeedFriending creates that space intentionally.
🌿 About the Venue
We’re so excited to announce that our upcoming SpeedFriending event will be hosted at Thunderbird Lounge in Phoenix! This isn’t your typical bar scene, this event will be hosted in their beautiful outdoor patio space, which includes:
● A grassy area
● Picnic tables
● A relaxed, open-air, community-centered atmosphere
To support a space where everyone feels comfortable and included, Thunderbird Lounge will be offering:
● A variety of mocktails, including a special Greenhouse Gives signature mocktail called “Better Together”
● Alcohol-free options alongside alcoholic drinks, so guests can choose what feels right for them
🚗 Parking
● Large free parking lot available behind the venue
● Easy access to the patio area
🌱 What Is SpeedFriending?
SpeedFriending is inspired by the structure of speed dating, but with a completely different intention: friendship, connection, and community.
Instead of focusing on romance, SpeedFriending offers a mix of:
● playful group activities
● lighthearted icebreakers
● and a structured “speedfriending” rotation
All designed to help you meet new people, discover common ground, and build real connections.
💚 What to Expect
● A warm, inclusive, and judgment-free environment
● Fun, guided icebreaker activities to ease social anxiety
● A full-group activity that highlights shared humanity and connection
● A structured SpeedFriending rotation with conversation prompts
● Time to reflect, laugh, and connect more deeply
● Optional time at the end to mingle and exchange contact info
Participation is always optional, and you’re encouraged to engage in whatever way feels right for you.
