Hi Julia,
Ah ha!

I guess the skyscraper-y shape we vaguely see is actually the device poking up. Good work designing your centerpieces to be functional instead of just “pretty.” I think there’s a blog post hiding in that idea….

BTW: IML was the vendor I spoke with.

Hi Sherry,

Thanks for your interest in Robin Hood. Here is a BizBash article on our 2009 benefit, complete with photos: http://www.bizbash.com/newyork/content/editorial/15436_stripped-down_robin_hood_benefit_raises_a_record_72_million.php

The centerpieces contained individual IML devices which allowed attendees to make anonymous donations from their tables.

Hope that helps!

Thanks for taking the time to research this, Kimberly! Your photo is certainly clearer than mine … and — like you — I’m still a little unsure as to what it is. Good guess on your part, I’d say.

Sherry-
The picture peaked my curiosity so I did some searching and found the picture at:
http://s.wsj.net/public/resources/images/PJ-AP757_pjGALA_G_20090513215606.jpg

That picture is a little easier to see and it looks to me like they are using informational placards in their centerpieces.Can’t tell if the bottles are part of the display or part of dinner.
