Artists for Charity and Party with a Purpose SF invite the Bay Area community to the 2nd annual Party With a Purpose benefit to support the work of the Artists for Charity Children’s Home. Artists for Charity has willingly accepted the responsibility of raising HIV positive orphans who are ineligible for any other NGO program due to age, health status, and past physical or sexual abuse. The AFC Children’s Home, located in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, is home for 16 children and provides for all the children’s personal needs and school and medical costs.

The 2nd Annual Party with a Purpose will be held on September 17th at 111 Minna Gallery. The event opens at 5pm with a silent auction. Auction items will range from items donated by local Bay Area restaurants, theaters, artists and designers to artwork created by the children of the Home.
