Charities

To find out the latest Charities and Causes Festa Parties, and our sister company, Great To Be Here Tees, have contributed to, please refer to the Charity & Community Category on our Blog.

We are thrilled to announce that Festa Parties is a Silver Sponsor of the 2012 Chicago Dance Marathon Benefit, to be held on Saturday, March 3, 2012 – and, as in 2011 when we were a bronze sponsor, we will be fielding a team of participants for the 13.1 hour event!  Contact us at 773 478 3378 for more details.

Through our years in business, we have contributed merchandise and cash donations to a wide variety of local and national charitable causes. We are happy to help out with a donation whenever we are able. We just always like to remind people, charity is only possible through prosperity; prosperity is only possible through profit; and profit is only possible through economic freedom and hard work. We want people to feel equally warm and fuzzy about Festa Parties successfully making a living and employing people productively (and paying our vendors and our rent) as they do about us doing charitable giving!
