Our Story

Giving back for 20 years and counting!
Party With Purpose (PWP) is a 100% volunteer-based, 501(c)(3) not-for-profit organization founded on the concept of producing great events to raise money for children’s charities and bring the community together in the process.

LOCAL IMPACT

Founded in Hoboken, N.J. 2002, by Scott Delea, who following the attacks on 9-11 wanted to make a difference in his own local community. PWP has donated over $1 million to local branches of charities such as the Boys and Girls Club, TRUE Mentors, Community Lifestyle, Hoboken Historical Museum children’s programming, H.O.P.E.S., United Children's Music Project (UCMP) and more. Beginning with the first event in December 2002, PWP was born to meet the needs of both local charities as well as a community looking to get involved.

What we do

We combine the best local social events with charitable causes to make a positive difference both here in our local community.

To date, Party With Purpose has donated over $1,000,000 and counting to help those in need through the generosity of volunteers, those attending events, and local sponsorships & donations. Learn more about the PWP events that continue improving people’s lives nearby.

Why we do it

We do it because we are a community of people who know what it means to “work hard” and “play hard.”

We have been fortunate in our lives and know it is important to give back. And why not have fun while we are at it! All proceeds raised go directly to a selected local charity or local office of a national charitable organization.
