For / on

Thanks for your response to my post.

She threw a party on / for her niece's success on the exam.

I couldn't decide which one goes in the sentence.

Secondly, is the sentence natural? What is its most common alternative?

I couldn't decide which one goes in the sentence. for sundarnaz is the sentence natural? OK, but I would expect instead: She threw a party for her daughter upon her success in the exam.
