          Special Notes:

          • Client was able to exceed their goal!  With a record, sold-out attendance of 2,800, and $1.8m raised the client beat their attendance and donations from last year as well as the competitor’s cause.

          • Engagement levels were kept up through networking with your table guests, inspiring speeches, and the use of live donation tracking on the large screens at the luncheon (Donors could see their donations in real-time).

          • New England Patriots’ all-star tight end Benjamin Watson and his wife, Kirsten, served as honorary chairpersons, and filmmaker Jason Jones addressed the event. Jones and Watson have produced a new documentary to be released later this year in which we held a sneak peek film screening for all attendees following the luncheon.

          Accolades:

          • CEO was extremely thankful and J.Shay Event Solutions is hired for next year’s event!
