Success Stories

Friends of the Chicago River 2008 Big Fish Ball

“The venue reflected what we know to be true–our city sparkles... Your assistance and input throughout the planning process proved invaluable. Moreover, it was a pleasure to work with you and look forward to doing so in the future”

 – Friends of the Chicago River

“Nearly every aspect of this gala is original, novel, and unexpected. The outdoor venue right downtown along the river was spectacular! The food and service were tops, too.  Our clients and other guests were tremendously impressed.”

City Chase USA

“[Chicago] was one of the largest City Chase events in the work and your support helped make the event challenging and enjoyable for all involved.  This year’s event helped raise over $45,000 for Special Olympics Chicago... We look forward to working with you again next year.”

The Renaissance Society

“Holding the live auction in a separate space—a first for us—was a great opportunity that the special qualities of that space afforded us . . . You made the Renaissance Society look terrific!”

– Lori Bartman, Director of Development, The Renaissance Society
