Artists for Charity and Party with a Purpose SF invite the Bay Area community to the 2nd annual Party with a Purpose benefit to support the work of Artists for Charity Children’s Home in Ethiopia. Artists for Charity has willingly accepted the responsibility of raising HIV positive orphans who are ineligible for any other NGO program due to age, health status, and past physical or sexual abuse.
