THE MEANS TO A VERY IMPORTANT END It s midnight. You ve just finished your biggest fundraising event of the year. The money has poured in. Your donors can t stop talking about how great the event was. Everything has gone perfectly. And not once did you have to worry about the planning or behind-the-scenes of the event. How do you feel? Great? Can t believe it? Believe it: That s what Sunday Sol Events can do for you. EXPERIENCE WE ARE PART OF YOUR TEAM You re busy. You wear too many hats as it is. Putting together an event whether it s a gala, charity walk, or benefit concert takes time. Let us take all the hard work that goes into planning an event off your plate so you have more time to speak with your donors or constituents, fundraise, or get more sponsors. Call us your event planner team member. We take your vision for the event, and handle the hundreds of little details that go into making it a reality. That way, you can focus on what you do best: sharing your nonprofit s message with the world. TEAM WORK WE UNDERSTAND YOU Since 2009, Sunday Sol Events has chosen a special role in the event production marketplace. We focus exclusively on non-profits. Other event planners say they can work with nonprofits, but don t understand the challenges of committees, boards, and budgets. We do. Our goal is to help organizations get smarter about their events and streamline the process. With strategic planning and execution, we take the soul of your organization and create an event that your audience won t soon forget. SOUL 2 3
LET S REACH YOUR GOALS TOGETHER When it comes to planning an event, there are many questions you need to ask yourself. How many people will you be able to help? How many will you inspire to support your efforts? How many will you reach for the first time? How much money will fund your programs? All the plans, all the hopes, talent, and toil... all come to life when the doors open and the curtain goes up on your event.

WHAT OUR CLIENTS ARE SAYING Sunday Sol Events was an outstanding addition to our Carnival for Kids. This year s event went significantly more smoothly thanks to them. From the beginning, they were focused on effectively streamlining things and took all of the details off of my staff s plate. All of that, and they were an absolute pleasure to work with! Katie Rootlieb, Illumination Foundation It seems odd to say we work with an outside company when Sunday Sol Events seems like part of our team! No matter the time we call, the limitations we might have or immediate solutions we may need, they ve always been there for us. I would highly recommend contacting Michelle to see if her team can be of assistance to your organization.
