Reason to Party brings together Bay Area communities and
businesses to raise funds and awareness for local charities and
nonprofits by doing what we do best, having fun! Attendees
support underserved populations in the San Francisco Bay Area as
well as our new approach to nightlife.
Nonprofits benefit from our impressive track record and
experienced event-planning staff. Our creative team has developed
successful and engaging event concepts that inspire audiences and
keep them coming back for more.
Some of the 200 audience members are busy pushing social change
as well. Arsen Ari Kalfayan, who by day runs business
development for cloud labor start-up CrowdFlower (formerly
called Dolores Labs), co-founded a nonprofit called
Reason To Party that throws affordable
fundraiser parties for a variety of causes, from an AIDS
hospice to the San Francisco Food Bank. Kalfayan’s parties
raise thousands of dollars from 20- and 30-somethings who
normally couldn’t afford to attend the fancy black-tie
fundraisers held by more traditional charities.
The San Francisco Bay Area is a city where many non-profits
begin as it is a welcoming platform to try new ideas. Another
fairly new-comer to the philanthropy scene is Reason to Party,
based out of San Francisco.
Reason to Party often holds events at beautiful venues like the
St. Regis Hotel. They recently held a benefit party for We
Players, a theatrical group that performs on Alcatraz, at Medjool
Restaurant.
Our Winter Gala attracted more than 700 guests to raise $7k for Maitri SF. We partied hard at the W Hotel with décor by Blueprint Studios and lighting by Entire Productions. Dylan McIntosh of BLVD kept the crowd dancing til morning in a glowing fantasyland of light and luxury.
Beautiful images of the beautiful people who turned out to celebrate the 2012 Winter Gala at the W Hotel!
