FAQs
Who:
The Purple Party benefits Harmony House, the only domestic violence shelter in Springfield/Greene County and the largest shelter in Missouri. Harmony House's mission is to provide shelter, advocacy and education to survivors of domestic violence and promote the principle that all individuals have the right to a life free of abuse. This year, The Purple Party will be a live-streamed virtual event on August 11th at 6pm. Get your ticket or Purple House Party Pack starting June 9 to bring the fun home!
What:
The Purple Party, now in its 5th year, brings community members together for a night of '80s-inspired entertainment, activities, food, and fun! While we have typically held The Purple Party in the spring--in person, with 500 of our closest friends at the Oasis--this year we are moving to a virtual format to keep our community safe.
Individual tickets to join the live-stream are available, or you can gather 14 of your friends to host a Purple House Party! We'll send a special link to all those who purchase individual ticket and to each Purple House Party host, along with instructions for accessing on a variety of devices.
We'll have a special program, a silent auction, caping of our 2020 Harmony Hero, entertainment from Members Only, and some surprises you won't want to miss!
What is a Purple House Party?: New for 2020, bring The Purple Party home! With a Purple House Party Pack, you can party with 14 of your friends at your home or business - we'll give you a Party Pack with all you need to get the party started:
- 2 bottles of wine
- Snacks
- Purple party decorations
- 15 fanny packs with goodies
- Special link to view the live-stream
- Access to the online auction
- A chance for our Prize Patrol to visit your party on August 11
- Delivered to your door (within Springfield city limits) on August 11
How do I pick up my Purple House Party Pack?: Our plan is to deliver Purple House Party Packs right to your location (within Springfield city limits) on August 11th between 8am and 4pm. We'll confirm your delivery location as we get closer!
What comes with an individual ticket?:
Individual ticket purchasers will come with access to the live-stream, access to the online auction, and a signature purple fanny pack "swag bag"! Fanny packs will be available for pick-up in early August, and ticket purchasers will receive emailed information.
When:
August 11, 2020. The live-stream will start at 6:30, but if you host a Purple House Party, the party starts when you say it does!
Where do I watch the live-stream?:
On your phone, laptop, or TV! All who purchase a ticket or Purple House Party Pack will be emailed a special link before the event so they can tune in from their favorite device. We'll also provide information in each Party Pack and fanny pack to help you get tuned in on your device!
Why should I host a Purple House Party?:
Since we can’t gather with 500 of our best friends at the Oasis, this is the next best thing! By gathering in a safe, socially distanced manner with your friends or colleagues and tuning in to watch our live-stream, you can support Harmony House and learn about ways to help us raise needed funds to support domestic violence survivors! We’ll have a blast, and make it a successful evening that will make a big difference for our 800+ residents annually. It’s a win-win!
Theme for 2020:
This year's Purple Party is all about the '80s again, this time with an '80s Movies theme.
What to Wear:
From dressy to casual, come as you wish--after all, it's your party! Purple, the color of domestic violence awareness, is always appropriate. To add some fun and get in the mood for MEMBERS ONLY, you can also come dressed in your favorite 80's gear. If it's purple and 80's - PERFECT! Be sure to tag Harmony House and share your selfies and party pics with us using #PurplePartySGF or #PurpleHouseParty--you may just see yourself on the live-stream!
