Problem: Lack of resources to support planning and organization of two major fundraising events, critical to organization’s bottom line.
Solution: Managed outreach, documentation, and procurement of donated goods and services for two major fundraising events which raise more than $1M+ annually for the organization. Participated day of event to help with set up/breakdown, schedule, and directing participants. Helped set infrastructure for newly hired Event Manager.
Results: Both fundraisers, Whitestone Gala & Rocking Manhattan, events were successfully executed and raised more than the expected donations estimates. New vendors and donors were procured for future years.
