this year i'll be donating a percentage
of the party proceeds to Welcome to Chinatown.
Welcome to Chinatown is a non-profit, grassroots
community organization that supports nyc's chinatown
businesses, embraces the rich legacy of chinatown, and
honors its culture and community. it has also been at
the forefront of the fight against the construction
of the state's "Megajail", currently under
construction in chinatown, and has
also created an alternative plan,
better for local residents
and businesses.
contact me if you'd like to volunteer for set-up
AND break-down the night of the soirée in exchange
for entry, or if you're unable to help but can't
afford the cost of a ticket right now.
annual donation
