You’re Invited to Party For A Purpose!

Vivanista and Sprinkles Cupcakes invite you to Party For A Purpose in honor of the 100th anniversary of International Women’s Day, while raising awareness and funds for CARE.

CARE is a leading humanitarian organization fighting global poverty. CARE places special focus on working alongside poor women because, equipped with the proper resources, women have the power to help whole families and entire communities escape poverty.

Anyone can organize – or join – a Party For A Purpose! It’s easy and we’ll provide every party host with a downloadable toolkit containing:

  • Pre-packaged fundraising party ideas
  • Trivia and discussion questions to spark engaging conversation
  • Social media promotion guide
  • Donation guidlines for sending customized gifts of opportunity, empowerment and hope to women and girls around the world through a CARE Package®.
  • Sprinkles Cupcakes signature recipes

There’s more!

The first 50 people to sign up to organize their own Party For A Purpose will receive a gift from Sprinkles Cupcakes!

Don’t delay, start planning your party today!

At your Party For A Purpose, you and your friends will have a chance to celebrate, share, educate and engage in discussion about women’s achievements during the past century, and how you can help empower women and girls to build a better tomorrow.

Find a Party For A Purpose near you or invite members of your women’s group, social club, alumni association or book club and other friends, family and colleagues to come together in the movement that is bringing hope to millions of women and girls around the world.

Thank you for celebrating the power of women with Vivanistina, Sprinkles Cupcakes and CARE. We hope you have a great time!

R.S.V.P. NOW >>

To savor Life on the First Day of Spring,
When Druids and Sprites dance in a Ring,
As Skies fill up with Birds on the Wing–
And those who listen may hear them Sing!
When Flowers burst forth and the Earth turns Green…
Soon Easter, Bunnies and Baskets will bring!

As the trials of our days lose some of their sting,
And the Joys of our Days have Special Zing,
Descending on us in an Onrushing String…
Gratitude up to Heaven we fling,
As every mortal feels like a King!

O, it is, it is a Wondrous Thing
To savor Life on the First Day of Spring!
