“The right ingredients can create a legend.”

A few months ago, I was nearing the finish line of 12 months of planning, days away from Gala #2. A friend asked “What are you going to do now?”

I had spent the past 2 years overthinking every detail, weighing the potential return on investment of each expense, considering each guest experience, essentially learning how to do “the thing”. Planning a large, formal fundraising event combines two of my greatest passions - marketing and hospitality.

My friend had previously introduced me to another organization, through their golf tournament. I suggested helping them with their gala, he mentioned they didn’t have one planned. Less than a month later, we met with the founding board members of The EAGLES Foundation … and, well, long story short, we are now planning their inaugural gala.

I learned more than I could imagine the past two years, and I still had countless ideas. Frankly, it seemed wasteful to just stop. Why not keep going?

I find myself frequently meeting women and families blessed by special needs, women and families who take their experiences, use their knowledge and contacts to help others. They generously give their time, resources and encouragement, in hopes to help others, make their lives easier, better, more enriched and successful. They have inspired me and I welcome any opportunity to help share their mission, expand their vision, as they continue to give.

No idea is too big or too small. No event is too far away or too close. I’d love to help you improve or expand an existing event or help you execute a dream you have but just don’t know where to start.

Benevolent is defined as “organized for the purpose of doing good”. Let’s work together, for good.
