Help Save a Locally owned Party Store

Thank you for stopping by,

My name is Blake and for the last 12 years Party Mania has been family owned in downtown Bethesda, Maryland. We have one of the longest-running independent Party Supply stores that offer an alternative to the large chains and corporate stores.

In 2022 I took over the store from my family in an effort to keep the legacy going and at first things were going well. Early in 2022 there was a Helium shortage that extended for the majority of 2022. Due to the Helium shortage, it put us in a Financial hole that I have struggled to climb out of each month.

The last thing I wanted to do was create a gofundme or ask for the public's help but due to a combination of the helium shortage and rising prices, I'm asking for a lifeline that I intend to pay forward.

Without your help, there is a significant chance of us losing the business and I hope you'll consider joining us in the journey to stay open for another 12 years of Birthdays, anniversaries, weddings, baby showers, and celebrations.

Investors can reach out to me individually to discuss options, I've tried everything from predatory loans to banks and unfortunately, I am running out of options. Due to the way the previous company was structured, I had to set it up as a new company and I don't have the personal credit for traditional lending options.

Help us prevent Bethesda from having another empty storefront and please consider donating to help us keep a small business going.

Thank you for your time and consideration,

Blake
