What is a Heart Party?

A Heart Party is a gathering of any size to raise funds in support of the ongoing mission and programming of Triad Health Project. Heart Parties are a wider take on Dining With Friends and a way to honor the legacy of Dining With Friends, in which community members would get together to dine to support our organization.

Why should I have a Heart Party?

A Heart Party is a way that you can support your community by directly supporting an organization that serves over 250 clients living with HIV in our community, and offers free STI/HIV testing to our community. It is a way to strengthen the community support around the work that Triad Health Project.

Example of Heart Parties:

• Pay-To-Attend
• Use a heart party to celebrate a major life event – i.e. birthdays, retirement, graduation, anniversary, something as simple as having friends over for cocktails before a show at the Tanger Center
• Make Ask at an Event

Ideas on how to raise money for Heart Parties:

Tell your community you are fundraising

If you share with your community what their dollars can do to support those living with HIV in our community (example: using the graphic provided below), they may have a better idea of where their dollars are going.

Share on social media

Weekly or daily posting notifying your social media community you are hosting a Heart Party fundraising for it. This can help get the word out to groups of people you don’t tend to see often or can’t attend the event in-person.

Create a piece of art as a ‘thank you’ to those who donate

Offering a piece of art or a gift to those who donate to THP is a way to increase the amount of donations you receive.
