Events
We plan and produce events designed to turn joy into impact.
Party For Change creates joyful experiences that reconnect people to their power to shape the world around them. Through music, movement, conversation, wellness, and culture, we bring together local communities, impactful nonprofits, artists, and businesses to make giving, gathering, and taking action feel human again.
We understand that our generation wants to show up differently: not through guilt or obligation, but through connection, creativity, and collective momentum. Our mission is to turn joy into impact by making community engagement accessible, inspiring, and woven into everyday life.

Your ticket for this event supports The Ali Forney Center, a nonprofit organization committed to saving the lives of LGBTQ+ and at-risk young people, protecting them from the harms of homelessness and empower them with the tools needed to live independently. Since AFC’s launch with just six beds in a church basement, the organization has grown to become the largest agency dedicated to LGBTQ+ and at-risk homeless youths in the country, assisting over 2,000 youths per year through a 24-hour Drop-In Center which provides over 70,000 meals annually, medical and mental health services through an on-site clinic, and a scattered-site housing program.
Ali Forney was a homeless gender-nonconforming youth who was forced to live on the streets at the age of 13. Ali resorted to street work and drug use to survive. They kept a close group of friends and educated anyone they encountered about HIV prevention and safe sex. Ali took pride in helping others like them. Ali was well known by the police because they aggressively advocated that the NYPD investigate a series of murders of other homeless queer youth they had befriended. Carl Siciliano, AFC’s founder, met Ali while working as the director of a homeless youth Drop-In Center when Ali was 17.
In December of 1997, Ali was murdered on the streets. They were 22 years old. Their tragic death called attention to the atrocious conditions for homeless LGBTQ+ youth in New York. In 2002, committed to making a difference and honoring Ali, Carl founded the Ali Forney Center.
The Ali Forney Center houses and protects homeless at-risk and LGBTQ+ youths living on the streets of New York. Like Ali, their Street Outreach Team educates teens about safe sex and HIV prevention. They also provide medical and mental health services, volunteer mentors, educational and career programs, life skills training, and much more.
