Nonprofit event services
With my track record of success built through over 18 years of nonprofit event experience, I tailor your event design to your nonprofit’s needs. Every aspect of your event, from the activities, to the décor, to the way people feel when they walk out the door, is centered on your mission and your goals.
Having an attractive and welcoming event is just the starting point: I specialize in the unforgettable mission-related details that will engage supporters, exceed your goals, and build relationships that continue beyond event day. My constant focus on YOUR ORGANIZATION’s mission drives all the creative and welcoming touches Tugboat 23 will add to your event.
Although I love events in any venue, I have particularly extensive experience in outdoor events large and small. From long-running public celebrations and street festivals in iconic spaces, to bicycle festivals, to school field trips, I am familiar with the unique quirks of being in the open air and in public spaces.
