Come dance the night away at PUBLIC WORKS, and help build the first adult LGBT focused homeless shelter in San Francisco!
Tickets are $50 for a General Admission ticket, and $100 for a VIP
ticket that includes a private VIP section at the venue, and a VIP
reception with special guests.
We’ll have everything you’re looking for in a party: Amazing DJ’s and
live entertainment on two floors all night long, stunning décor, an
aerialist, photo booth provided by Photography for Good, liquor
tasting tables, and an open bar with sponsored vodka cocktails, wine,
and Sapporo beer.
There are hundreds of LGBT individuals living on the streets of our
community who desperately need care, food, and immediate shelter.
Unfortunately, over 70% of transgender residents and over half of
LGBT-identifying individuals report having experienced physical and
verbal violence at the city's shelters because of their identity.
In
order to open this shelter we need to raise $100,000 to complete
construction. With your support, we hope to raise the remaining funds
through this Gala being put on for our benefit from the fine folks at
Reason To Party.
Help us raise funds by purchasing a ticket to BUILT TO LAST, and enjoy an event to remember. Use promo code BOBTHEBUILDER for a discounted ticket!
One party can make a difference. We’ll see you there!

Harris, Former Development Specialist, HOPWA (Housing Opportunities
for People with AIDS) programs, San Francisco Redevelopment Agency, for her 18 years of tireless dedication to provide quality housing to some of San Francisco’s most vulnerable residents

for responding to the initial call to provide shelter to Central
American refugees arriving in the Mission District in 1982, and laying
