I'm ready to Host A Party. Where do I start?

Do house parties actually have to be held in houses?
Absolutely not. House parties can be held at any venue - union halls, coffee houses, churches, libraries, salons, your job site or office, pizza parlor team rooms and local restaurants are great.
How much should a house party raise?
We would like the average goal to be $750, but we know that some events will raise less and others much more. Usually a party will raise $500 to $1000. Think about whom you are inviting and what they can contribute-and how many people you think will attend-when you're setting your goal.
How much should I ask my guests to contribute?
Again, this is a judgment call on your part, but we suggest $25.00 as the minimum contribution. Some of your invitees may have the ability to contribute more. Setting different levels of participation with different contribution amounts ($100, $50, $25) is a good way to encourage higher contributions.
How can I get a representative of the campaign (speaker) to attend my house party?
Depending on the location and date and time of your party we can usually
find a representative or speaker of the campaign to attend your party.
The more lead time you give us, the better. Contact houseparty@onecarenow.org
or phone 888.442.4255, for more information.
What will Campaign contributions support?
All contributions to the OneCareNow Campaign will fund essential expenses for: materials (e.g., flyers, signs, banners, & brochures); a robust advocacy-oriented web site; media development (i.e., YouTube, DVDs, & an ad campaign); statewide organizing meetings and communications; and staff activities (i.e., organizing supporters, coordinating volunteers, managing the website, developing written materials, coordinating house parties and fund raising activities). Support for these vital efforts is nothing less than support for this massive grassroots campaign for single payer insurance in California—the first of its kind in the country!
