The Party Palooza

Calling all Party Enthusiasts to help us curate joy, laughter and magical memories that will be woven into the patchwork of people's lives.

THE DEETS:

We celebrate EVERYTHING - Life's A Party, Make It Fun! That's our motto here at The Party Palooza, so we mark milestones and special occasions with fun CELEBRATIONS. Our specialty is children events and what better way for them to share special moments then with their family and friends.  When special occasions arise, some may not know how to plan the perfect party, have the time to pull it all together, nor have ample space.  That is where we come in!  At The Party Palooza, we know that we are not just planning a fun event but a lifetime of magical memories.

After 17 years of remotely providing premier entertainment and event decor, we are lying down some roots in East York, PA.  We have found a brick and mortar home! While we will continue to offer our services remotely, we are merging the current entertainment brands, and leasing a space to better serve our immediate community.

THE ISSUE:

It's challenging to locate PRIVATE venue space to host social events in York County, PA.  Albeit, one's home is an option, the burden of cleaning, prepping, creating ample space for their guests, and then cleaning again, is stressful and time consuming.  Furthermore, locating a venue that will permit one to bring in their own food, is difficult because most banquet halls only permit food selection from their catering menu. Finally, it's challenging to rent a private venue that provides full-service event planning, setup, decorating, entertainment and cleanup.

THE FIX:

The Party Palooza is a convenient solution for anyone planning a milestone celebration or special occasion - birthday, graduation, baby shower, etc.  A once stressful occasion is now effortless, festive, and FUN! Hassle-free events will make planning celebrations an epic and memorable experience. Moreover, our clients may now be guests at their own parties so they may sit back, relax and enjoy the fun too!

Just think about it, wouldn't it be great to attend your own event and actually enjoy it? We simplify lives by planning, arranging and handling the details.  We assist with as little or as much as our client desires by tailoring our services to meet their precise needs. Finally, we have a network of the best event vendors and entertainers in the area.

OUR LOCATION:

We will be conveniently located in The York Galleria Mall which is an enclosed, indoor shopping mall located just northeast of York, Pennsylvania with ample parking.

CRED:

We are launching this IFW campaign because we know that our community, family and friends will have a real interest in sharing in the enthusiasm and empowering our success. We have amazing reviews from our current customers that have experienced first hand our remote entertainment and party decor services. So don't take our word for it, read what they have to say, as they say it best!

MILESTONES: 

• Signed Lease
• Obtained required permit for renovations
• Beginning stages of build out to meet building code requirements
• Renovations underway (new flooring, painting, installing chandelier)
• Mockup for Signage
• Commercial Insurance
• Currently conducting interviews for team members
• Grand Opening/Launch Party events slated for Spring 2020

FUNDING NEEDS:

This campaign is a stepping stone to raising additional funding from donations to both help with a successful launch and support the community-oriented social projects get off the ground.  There are exuberant expenditures associated with a venture of this magnitude and achieving this financial goal will provide some debt relief while embarking upon this business expansion.

MORE INFO:

Q: Why now?

A: Why not now - thanks for being curious enough to ask that question.  It’s about instilling a sense of meaning and significance in my life and others. The celebrations that highlight important milestones such as birthdays, baby showers, and graduations, all serve an important purpose. It’s about connection and it instills a sense of reverence and appreciation for the precious GIFT OF LIFE.

Life is short and the recent deaths of both my sister and best friend, of 33 years, propelled me to live my best life and take risks – DREAM BIG! The last fondest memories I shared with my sister was at my 50^th birthday celebration and, with my bestie, at her 49^th birthday celebration – MAKE SENSE!!? My bestie's message was, "live your life to the fullest, because you never know which day will be your last." It’s a DEDICATION …. and yes, my bestie was a PARTY ANIMAL!

Q: Do you have any additional goals?

A: Yes, there are three STRETCH GOALS (community-oriented social projects):

• Youth Internship Program - Launch internship opportunities for high school youth and college students interested in entrepreneurship.  An opportunity for creatives to demonstrate their creativity and natural acumen for business.  The goal is to inspire and nurture their ability to identify entrepreneurial opportunities for themselves, utilizing their talent, within the celebration industry.
• Foster Care Birthday Celebrations - Communal birthday celebration for foster care children and their SIBLINGS because oftentimes they live separately from their siblings. The opportunity to reconnect with siblings is significant, especially on a birthday.
• A Case For The Future Drive - A celebration to instill dignity and awareness through celebration. A Case For The Future is a community initiative to collect suitcases for distribution to children transitioning into the York County and Baltimore City Foster Care Systems.
