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 Sacramento’s Co-Founder Mac Clemmens and
Sacramento Splash’s Executive Director Emily Butler took to the
airwaves to promote Friday’s Gala.
Reason to Party is offering its signature
gala-style event and is prepared to rally more than 1,000
partiers—and the entire Sacramento region is taking notice.
According to Reason to Party Sacramento Co-Founder Catherine
Mattesich, KCRA, Good Day Sacramento, KVIE, Fox 40, and Univision
have either covered the gala or are scheduled to cover it this
week.
SACRAMENTO, CA — Key community leaders toured the Old Sugar Mill
to solidify plans, garner support, and galvanize the Sacramento
community to “Embrace the Elements” this Friday.
The team then regrouped in midtown at Zocalo to celebrate and
rally support for the gala. More than 40 leaders joined and
pledged to reach out to their friends and networks.
This morning, Teo Torres of KCRA Channel 3 interviewed Ryan
Brough of Reason to Party and Emily Butler of Sacramento Splash
to tell the story of Reason to Party and its novel approach to
fundraising: hosting cutting-edge events that engage emerging
leaders. Watch the

Rockstar Limo Lounge has agreed to transport Reason to Party
guests to another world on the banks of the majestic Sacramento
River. For an additional $6 donation, their luxurious limos and
party buses will shuttle guests between Centro Cocina Mexicana
(2730 J Street) and the Old Sugar Mill between 8:00pm and 2:00am.
Guests are encouraged to get themselves to Centro and enjoy a
margarita on the patio. With limos running every 15 minutes, they
won’t have long to wait! Upon return at the end of the
evening, taxis will be standing by to bring guests home, safe and
sound.
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!
Reason to Party’s (reasontoparty.org) annual Winter Gala, held
Saturday, Feb 4, 2012, attracted more than 700 guests to the W
Hotel for an evening of fantasy and celebration with DJ Dylan
McIntosh of BLVD, sponsored bars, and even an art installation
made entirely of masking tape. Join Reason to Party for monthly
parties around the city, always in support of a great cause!
The event raised over $7000 for Matri, the last AIDS hospice in
San Francisco.
Dylan McIntosh of BLVD will be headlining at
Saturday Night’s 2012 Winter Gala at
the W Hotel, and he’ll bring drums and someone to play clarinet
during his DJ SET.
On Saturday, February 4, 2012, the Sacramento-based art movement Tapigami™ debuts its first installation of 2012 at the W Hotel (181 3rd Street, San Francisco) for Reason to Party’s 2012 Winter Gala, benefitting Maitri. Tapigami™’s flagship piece “Tree of Life” anchors the fundraiser’s VIP lounge, which also includes a large Tapigami™ garden that grows into an entire three-dimensional city, complete with skyline.
On Feb. 4th, we’re creating a world of lush fantasy and
entertainment as we transform The W for our Winter Gala.
Featuring an art installation by Tapigami (yes, tape-igami),
exclusive VIP section, a blacklight area, and even lasers, this
will be one of our best parties of the year!
Come and support Maitri
AIDS hospice, based here in SF. Read more below.
DJing our Confession Launch on Sunday, January 22nd, we’ll have A
Plus D – as in Adrian & Mysterious D. Known mostly as
galvanizers of the international mashup scene, since 2001 they
have forged a hard-earned reputation as crowd-pleasing selectors
who not only shamelessly bridge the gap between genres, but
between the alternative and the mainstream.
They were rated Best DJs in SF by SF Weekly, and their local
mashup party Bootie SF has now spread like a dance fever
across the country, with mashup parties now in L.A., New York,
and beyond.
Thanks to the huge crowd of fun, young professionals who turned
out for our launch event, Reason to Party Sacramento will donate
$2,726 to support outstanding youth leadership programs at
Cottage Housing, Inc.
“It exceeded our expectations,” stated Reason to Party Sacramento
co-founder Catherine Mattesich, a new attorney and Sacramento
native who managed logistics for the successful launch
event.
We apologize for the earlier e-mail referring to “tomorrow’s”
event. It is tonight!
Thank you so much for supporting Reason to Party first Sacramento
event. With nearly 200 tickets
purchased, tonight is going to be a
memorable night. DJ Katz will spin us into the wee hours while we
mingle, mix, and dance.
Where? 1015 Front Street in Old Sacramento,
next to Fat City. (Look for balloons out front.)
When? Doors open at 10pm. (VIP Champagne
Reception at 9:30pm).
Big news! This fall, Reason to Party was officially
recognized as a non-profit in the State of California. This means
your support and donations are now tax deductible. Come
celebrate this great achievement with us!
Sacramento Reason to Party is excited to announce that DJ Katz will be
spinning at next Friday’s launch event! DJ Katz has performed at
the Clift Hotel’s Redwood Room, Neiman Marcus, Harlow’s, Blue
Cue, District 30, and Momo Lounge.
We are thrilled that he will be setting the vibe for Sacramento’s
Reason to Party.
