Reason To Party is excited to invite you to our 2013 Spring Gala,
Built To Last. Hosted at Public Works, we’ll have everything
you’re looking for in a party. Amazing DJ’s and live
entertainment including aerial silk performers on two floors all
night long, stunning décor, a photo booth provided by Photography
for Good, liquor tasting tables, and an open bar with sponsored
vodka cocktails, wine, and Sapporo beer.
SAN FRANSCISO — Reason to Party donated over $21,000 to Larkin
Street Youth Services in San Francisco — a game-changing check
that will change the lives of homeless youth.
This is what happens when we come together as a community.
Please, join us making a difference again.
According to Reason to Party Co-founder Ari Kalfayan, “it is a
very proud day, [made possible] through the hard work of 30+
volunteers, 20+ staff and 850 guests.”
Thank you for helping to make the Reason to Party Sacramento
Spring Gala a stunning success! We turned out close to 500
people and raised more than $4,000 for Sacramento Splash.
Reason to Party is a movement to make philanthropy fun, cool and
accessible. We design unique events to raise funds, inspire
awareness of worthy causes, and cultivate future philanthropic
leaders.
San Francisco is not a city that needs a formal excuse to let
loose and have a good time. A growing local organization,
however, is providing the community with a feel-good cause to
rally, err, rather party behind.
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.
