How does a nonprofit bring the fun to its annual fundraising event year after year? Today, I talk with Dr. Susan Blaney, Director of Cancer and Hematology Centers at Texas Children's Hospital and Shelly Hendry, co-chair of their annual signature fundraising event An Evening With Legends featuring David Foster and Katharine McPhee.
An Evening With Legends is a fabulous experience where David Foster will take to the piano with wife Katharine McPhee belting out the scores of iconic tunes that the duo have written and produced over the decades. This event shows how music has the power to give guests fun and good feelings at galas or signature fundraising events so they talk about your event for years to come.
In this episode, Susan and Shelly talk about a wide range of topics including tips on attracting the right celebrities and high-profile individuals to your signature fundraising event, how to get the most fun possible out of your signature fundraising event, and ways to create a devoted following for your annual gala.
