The party was held in celebration of Keith Haring, Larry Levan, and David Spada, the originators of the Party of Life; by 1995 all three had either died of AIDS-related illnesses or were suffering from opportunistic infections. The event was a benefit for AIDS organizations and featured house music legends Frankie Knuckles and Junior Vasquez.
