Party for Change is a black-tie event. Most guests wear tuxedos, suits, or floor-length gowns.

Party for Change is Saint John’s premier black-tie fundraising gala—an evening unlike anything else in Sacramento. Held in an exclusive private aviation hangar, guests will be welcomed by the striking display of private jets and luxury cars set just outside the venue.

Inside, you’ll enjoy:

• A gourmet dinner and hosted bar
• Powerful stories of transformation
• A thrilling live auction and Fund-a-Need
• A high-energy after-party with a DJ and dancing

From the moment you arrive, you’ll know—there’s no other event in town like it.

Yes! Tables will seat either 8 or 10 guests. If you purchase multiple tickets in one transaction, we’ll make sure your group is seated together.

If your group is purchasing tickets separately, please email us at info@saintjohnsprogram.org with the names of everyone who should be seated together. To ensure we can accommodate your request, please contact us no later than September 26th. We may not be able to make changes after that date. 

Party for Change is a ticketless event. All guests will be checked in via our registration system upon arrival and given a bid paddle and table number.

If you’ve purchased a ticket or sponsored a table, we’ll contact you to collect your guests’ names and emails. These will be entered into our system. Two weeks prior to the event, all guests will receive an email with event details and a pre-registration link. Pre-registration allows you to securely enter your credit card information for a faster check-in experience.

A highlight of the evening is our live auction and Fund-a-Need. By entering your credit card info during pre-registration, you’ll streamline your check-in experience and make it easy to participate in giving opportunities throughout the evening. All proceeds support Saint John’s residential program for women and children overcoming homelessness.

You can, but we encourage guests to pre-register with their credit card information in advance. This helps avoid long lines and ensures a smooth check-in for everyone.

Please bring a valid ID and a credit card if you wish to participate in the live auction, silent auction, or Fund-a-Need. If you supply your credit card information ahead of time, through our pre-registration link, you do not need to bring anything but your dancing shoes.

Yes! Our dinner menu includes both a meat and vegetarian entrée. Through the pre-registration link, you’ll be able to select your meal preference.  

Yes, complimentary valet parking will be available for all guests.
Please note that wine, beer, bubbles, and specialty cocktails will be served throughout the evening. We highly recommend using Uber, Lyft, or a designated driver for your safety.

Yes. The fair market value of each Party for Change ticket is estimated at $175. Therefore, $325 of your $500 ticket purchase is tax-deductible. Once you complete your purchase online, you’ll receive a receipt that includes the deductible amount for your records.
