HOUSE PARTY FUNDRAISERS: House parties are bringing the 2005 WFSM-LA into living rooms and backyards all over Los Angeles. It's your chance to create and host a sacred music event for your family and friends and help raise the necessary funds to ensure the success of the Festival. These "house concerts" are more than just fundraisers, they are part of the actual Festival itself, each one serving to bring people together to explore and celebrate our universal longing for community.

Working closely with the House Party's coordinator, you will plan your event, invite your guests, and enjoy a fabulous party. Your guests will have the opportunity to find out more about the festival, and contribute either by direct donation, by purchasing advance tickets, or signing up to host their own event.

If you'd like to host a fundraising party, please contact Anu Kishore at akishore@arts.ucla.edu or 310.206.1335.
