Reason to Party celebrated an exciting milestone as it kicked off its first New York event at the Nasdaq in Times Square. The event drew hundreds of philanthropists from Manhattan to as far away as California and Europe.
With the help and enthusiasm of thousands of Bay Area residents, wonderful partners like 7×7, dot429, and Hannig Law Firm, and the many local non-profits we’ve come together to support, Reason to Party has been able to donate over $170,000 to help: man suicide hotlines for at-risk youth via The Trevor Project; plant and maintain more than a hundred trees in and around the city with matching help from Google for Friends of the Urban Forest; provide care to the terminally ill with Maitri; help maintain beaches with Save the Waves; feed members of our community in need of a meal with the SF-Ma

About Reason to Party
Reason to Party is a 501(c)3 non-profit and is completely volunteer-run.
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.
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.
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.
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 Segment »
