2018 Holiday Party
Since we first launched Dôen in 2016, giving back to the organizations we hold dear to our hearts has been a consistent priority and goal we work to honor each and every day. In December of 2016 we decided to celebrate our first year as a company by hosting a holiday party fundraiser with friends and family and donating all proceeds to Planned Parenthood Los Angeles. We had so much fun that it became a yearly tradition – growing bigger and better year after year!
This year, in collaboration with our dear friends Marc and Med, we hosted the event at The Spare Room in Hollywood – a glowing, wood paneled parlor with two adorable vintage bowling lanes. The night was filled with luminous rainbow tea lights, tarot card readings by the amazing Erin, gutter balls/strikes, and lots and lots of dancing.
A huge thanks to our amazing sponsors for making the night possible: Lorenza Rosé, M. Special Brew, Yola Mezcal, and The Spirit Guild, and to Marc, Med, and The Spare Room team for making the magic happen. See below for pictures from the fun-filled night!
We are thrilled to share that thanks to everyone who was able to attend, we raised over $4,000 for PPLA! In combination with the proceeds from our Giving Thanks Sale (we raised over $4,000 from your orders!), we have generated a total of over $8,000 for Planned Parenthood LA this month alone! Courtesy of a generous LA family, who is matching all donations for the month of December, our final donation will be over $16,000! Thank you to everyone who has helped us to support this incredible organization – we couldn’t be more proud of our generous and loving community.
Happy Holidays!!!!
