Burchfield-Penney Art Center Gala
"most successful in our history"
The
Annual Gala and Art Auction for Burchfield Penney Art Center is the largest
fundraising event for the center. Event Elements worked with an extraordinary
group of gala volunteers headed by co-chairs Joan Bukowski and Nelson Montgomery.
This years gala theme was "Building Excitement" - reflecting on the opening of the New Burchfield Penney Art Center scheduled to open in Fall 2008. Crowley Webb & Associates created a sleek print campaign with a "construction" theme that was applauded by many in the event industry.
2007 Gala by the Numbers:
§ Increase of attendance of 40% (260 attendees in 2006 to 430 attendees in 2007)
§ Increased sponsorship income of 46%
§ Increased auction income of 14%
Ted Pietrzak, Executive Director, of the Burchfield-Penney Art Center Gala had this to say about the work of Event Elements: "Not only were all the logistics handled perfectly with no glitches, but we all had fun doing it."
"…the event would not have been successful without your attention to detail, dotting each 'i', crossing each 't' and responding to each call."
"Please extend my personal thanks to your professional staff. Thank you again. It was a pleasure to work with you."
Event Elements appreciates the hard work of the volunteer committee and the Burchfield-Penney Art Center Staff and looks forward to an exciting 2008!
