Courage Gala – Glenrose Rehabilitation Hospital Foundation

The Courage Gala is an 850-guest sold-out gala for which we execute the event management, campaign video with a custom audio brand, and video vignettes released strategically throughout the marketing campaign. We are so honoured and proud to have won “Best Fundraiser” at the 2017 Edmonton Event Awards alongside the Glenrose.  In that one evening, with the strong support of the community, we were able to raise a record-breaking $2 Million dollars, including a jaw-dropping donation by the Chadi family for one million dollars to support pediatric rehabilitation. We are extremely grateful for the ongoing opportunity to work with the Glenrose team of staff, volunteers and patient ambassadors.
