Gift of Life Howie’s House Birthday Bash

For 15 years, Gift of Life Howie’s House has served as a home away from home for transplant patients and their caregivers who travel to Philadelphia for lifesaving care. Since opening its doors in 2011, the House has provided more than lodging – it has offered stability, compassion, and community during some of the most challenging moments a family can face.

As part of our 15th Anniversary celebration, Gift of Life Howie’s House is excited to host our inaugural Birthday Bash on Friday, October 2, 2026 – an evening celebrating 15 years of hope, healing, and community for transplant families traveling to Philadelphia for lifesaving care.

The exciting event is open to everyone and will take place on Friday, October 2nd at @FringeArts in Philly at 6PM.

Tickets purchased ahead of time are $50 and will help raise important funds to support our mission at the House. Each ticket includes:

– Delicious Food

– Alcohol and Beverages

– 5 complimentary door prize tickets and a silent auction

Proceeds from the Birthday Bash directly support transplant patients and caregivers staying at Gift of Life Howie’s House – a 32-room healthcare hospitality house in Philadelphia that provides affordable lodging, meals, transportation, and supportive services for families who must travel to Philadelphia to access lifesaving organ transplant care.

In 2025 alone, the House provided more than 10,000 nights of lodging, 36,000 meals, and over 1,400 shuttle rides to six local transplant centers. Families are asked to contribute only $40 per night, regardless of the true cost of their stay, and no eligible family is ever turned away due to financial hardship. Since opening our doors in 2011, we have provided $17 Million in subsidized care for transplant patients and their families.
