How does an organization host a successful signature fundraising event during the holiday season?

In today’s episode, I talk with Karen Hughes, President & CEO of Vogel to talk about Day 1 DFW, one of the organization's signature fundraising events.

Held on New Year's Day, Day 1 DFW draws hundreds of families from around North Texas for a day of family fun, with proceeds going towards fulfilling the organization's mission to provide services for children ages six weeks to 12 years who experience the trauma of homelessness. At Day 1 DFW, children and families have the opportunity to enjoy over two dozen fun experiences with everything from a Candyland Obstacle Course to balloon artists.

Karen shares her knowledge and expertise on a variety of topics, including the similarities and differences between hosting a gala and a family-oriented event, tips on creating experiences that the whole family can enjoy,  how to end your event in a memorable way, and so much moreThis is one episode you will not want to miss.
