FREE WEBINAR: The Anti-Gala: Rethink the Event Guests Expect
The gala formula is something most organizations inherit rather than choose. In this free one-hour webinar, fundraising event strategist and auctioneer Bobby D. Ehlert walks through how to break the predictable gala format without losing the elements that actually raise money, from creating moments that connect guests personally to your mission to designing a program that builds energy and leads naturally into the ask. Live Q&A included.
