Special Events - Themed Programs
Throughout our history, we’ve produced special events that have included performances, galas, meet and greets, donor appreciation programs, and so on. Several of these events were produced as a result of unique opportunities that we either pursued or which came our way. Several were designed as fundraisers and/or donor cultivation forums. These events have played a key role in elevating our profile, expanding our reach, and deepening our communication with audiences and supporters.
