Virtual gala idea: An outsourced foodie experience

A common entertainment activity added to  virtual galas has been a mixology class. In 2022, I think it's time to time to do something different. Some gala chairs are preparing to host their third annual online fundraiser.  If that sounds like you -- and you haven't made any adjustments since your initial event -- it's  time too add some fresh virtual gala ideas. That's why I was pleased to notice this promotion in my recent Zingerman's catalog. Zingerman's is a company I've used for ... Read On >

$200 VIP Upgrade Experience Box (Wow Box) from a small school

Given the timing of this post (landing between Christmas and New Year's Eve), I wasn't planning on sharing much in the way of substance.  But then I came across this video from spring 2020 that had not yet been posted. Wow Boxes, also called VIP boxes, are a uniquely virtual gala element. It turns out virtual galas are still going to be happening in spring 2022 -- at least for some groups.

Hybrid galas: How I’m taking bids from the virtual bidders

Over the last two years, the one big constant has been change. I’ve had substantial changes take place in my work and personal life.  You may have, too. When it comes to changes in fundraising galas, we covered ticketing strategies, VIP boxes, games, and other elements of virtual gala fundraisers in my Conversation series.  (My Virtual Gala Cheat Sheet is still a popular free download.) And now, as we shift into yet another new gala style -- hybrid galas -- I'm finding myself making ... Read On >

Comparing virtual vs in-person galas: List of pros

I have several clients considering their autumn galas. As they try to outguess the COVID virus, we've spent time comparing the pros and cons of in-person galas versus virtual galas. Perhaps this will be helpful to you as well. One point to know: For my discussions, the basis of comparison for a virtual gala has been Zoom. I've written about the types of virtual galas -- two-screen, one-screen, Zoom*, pre-recorded -- and having worked them all, I'm still a fan of Zoom because I believe ... Read On >
