Winslow and Associates - event planning and consulting

Committee advice on best possible goals for in-kind donor participation such as restaurant/celebrity chef participation, beverage donors, auction donors, product and supply donors to reduce event expenses and add to marketability and profile of function.
Avenues of approach to solicit in-kind donations, designing and producing solicitation materials, and tracking follow up calls.
Supervision of logistical arrangements for donors once their interest in supporting your cause has been confirmed. Making sure that the donor benefits promised them are provided: acknowledgment in printed materials, confirmation materials, thank you letters, etc.
Silent Auctions: track donations and structure of silent auctions, producing all materials, sales systems and auction procedures.
Raise awareness of donors that they can increase their visibility with affluent clientele.

A special thanks to these fabulous Bay Area restaurants, wineries, and companies for their generous donations at our events:
