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
A big thanks to Carmen Marc Valvo and the Colon Cancer Alliance
for their tireless efforts to bring awareness and support to this
leading cancer cause.
Tomorrow’s the big night: an open bar, live music & art await
you. 100% proceeds will go to Verge Center for the Arts. Starts
at 9PM for General Admission / 8PM for VIP.
KCRA featured Reason to Party in a live segment this morning.
Katie and Mac discussed the event. Verge Artist Ilah Rose
Cookston painted a live portrait to give viewers a sense of the
live art exhibit experience and an opportunity to meet the
artists who will benefit from the event.
What type of art brings together the beauty of the human body,
music, and creative interpretation? Dance.
Come sip cocktails all night long while you enjoy exclusive dance
performances by CORE Dance Collective. This will be only one of
the many types of art you will be able to experience and support
to at Reason to Party’s An Art Affair this Friday at the Elks
Tower in Downtown Sacramento.
Edgy and provocative, Verge artist Aleksander Bohnak’s
installation at this Friday’s Reason to Party event invites
guests to become part of the art! Incorporating creative
objects, lighting, and large-scale video projections, Alek’s art
is sure to entrance, delight, and provide a window into the
remarkable talent supported by the Verge Center for the
Arts.

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.
