Client Challenge
The family wanted a fresh, engaging alternative to a conventional black-tie dinner; something that would resonate with guests, elevate the cause’s profile and surpass previous fundraising efforts, all while remaining stress-free for the hosts.
Our Approach
Designed a themed gala with immersive elements: interactive entertainment, live storytelling from beneficiaries, and a “giving wall” that invited guests to pledge support through fun, social moments.
- Coordinated all logistics: invitations, venue, catering, entertainment and tailored guest favours.
- Created special experiences for VIP donors, including behind-the-scenes charity tours for six lead supporters.
- Integrated technology for seamless silent-auction bidding and live fundraising progress updates during the event.
Result
- Fundraising goals were exceeded by 60%, bringing in €150,000 in one night.
- The charity received a 40% uptick in volunteer sign-ups and wider local media visibility than in any prior year.
- Guests described the evening as “the most joyful and heartfelt event of the season” in post-event feedback.
