What are the keys to creating strong event themes that tie to the organization's mission while being fun for guests?
Today, I talk with Thomas Pierce, Founder of the Children's Oncology Support Fund, to talk about the upcoming Aspen Snow Ball.
One of the top fundraising galas in Aspen each year, with 2025's event raising over $3.5 million, the Aspen Snow Ball draws top patrons from around the country to further the organization's mission to help develop medical breakthroughs in pediatric research. A big part of the event's success is theming each event around a children's classic with a fun twist. This allows donors to have fun and personally connect with the organization's mission, so they give generously.
Thomas shares great insights on a range of topics, including developing strategic partnerships to further your organization's mission, building a strong board that expands the reach of your gala and your impact, getting donors who live in an area part-time to support your cause, and so much more. This is one episode you will definitely not want to miss.
