The Details
Event Objective
The National Network to End Domestic Violence wanted to engage with corporations and individuals who don’t contribute to NNEDV in more typical ways like online giving or volunteering.
Strategy
As they like to say “Chefs Take a Stand to End Domestic Violence is not your average gala: the food is delicious – the attire is comfortable – the speeches are few. Come for the food, stay for the cause, and leave knowing you did your part to help end domestic violence.”

" I have worked with Sarah and her team at The Side Lobby for several events and am consistently impressed by her enthusiasm and excitement for effective event planning. I appreciate that she takes the time to truly understand a client’s needs. Her calm presence is a blessing during the hubbub of an event, quietly solving problems before they even occur. "
