Party for PARC

A Party with a Purpose!

Make Friends and Raise Funds by hosting a Party for PARC

Unlike "special events" where tickets are sold, sponsorships are solicted and auctions are held to raise funds. The focus of a Party for PARC is on our mission and increasing awareness of who we are and what we do. Of course, we hope that in addition to learning about PARC's impact on the community, participants of the party will be encouraged to make direct donations.
