We were brought in to elevate the experience of the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society’s annual Man and Woman of the Year Gala where candidates take on a 10-week philanthropic competition to raise funds for LLS in honor of local blood cancer survivors.
With the ultimate goal to make the Man and Woman of the Year Gala as elevated and seamless as possible, Bounce stepped in to take over the logistical components surrounding the event. Bounce oversaw invite lists, scripts, program presentations, event set up, vendor coordination and venue management for the Winter Cocktail event, Kick off event and Grand Finale. In preparation for the Grand Finale, Bounce oversaw GiftSmart, a mobile bidding platform that was the umbrella for registration, seating charts, mobile bidding for silent and live auctions and text messaging. Day of, Bounce trained and coordinated volunteers, speakers, candidates, the emcee, auctioneers, honored guests and acted as the liaison between GiveSmart as well as the Venue to ensure we stayed on track with the night’s Run of Show.
From Save the Dates to Event signage, Bounce presented the Man and Woman of the Year campaign with an elevated event designs to be implemented throughout all event signage for their Cocktail, Kick off and Grand Finale events.
Maintaining the familiar feel of the event, but modernizing the visuals was a fun, but delicate challenge. We mimicked the color palette and tweaked fonts slightly to make everything easily discernible in photographs and from a distance.
