It's party time! House Party Weekend. October 14-16, 2011.

It's party time! But we're not asking you to get dressed up, buy a table, or come to a fancy gala. We're asking you to have your own party - the way you want it, with your friends - to raise awareness and funds for healthy child development and child abuse prevention.

We're designating October 14-16, 2011, as the weekend for people across the country to host parties supporting kids. However, as you will be hosting or attending these parties, feel free to host a party when it works best for you. We're hoping you'll join thousands of people coast to coast, having parties throughout the year and on that weekend. Our goal is to raise $30,000 by the end of the weekend. Please help us make this happen!

Please visit the House Party Weekend website for more details. We've even built a house party toolkit, so (most of) the work is already done.

We hope you find a way to get involved, as a house party host, guest, or virtual party giver, and have a great time doing it. Because we believe everyone has a role to play in creating a healthy future for children.

We're having fun already.
