There is something so relaxing and yet inspiring about the way a flower blooms. Normally it happens too slowly for the human eye to really take in the phenomenon, but thanks to time-lapse photography, we can now witness the whole journey from bud to bloom, and not just the pop of beauty when the journey is done.
Likewise, planning a fundraiser is a journey and most people only see the pop of pizzazz at the end without knowing all of the many steps it took to get there. But with the right nurturing, you can take the seed of an idea and deliver a stunning and successful event. We would love to help you do just that.
Tending your garden is a never-ending series of jobs that change with the season. You give time and attention, water and sunshine and the right soil. You might have to deal with pests, or know when and how to prune to promote new growth. And the rewards just pour in: satisfaction from a job well done, tangible fruits of your labor, increased physical and mental health, a daily purpose.
Gardening as nurturing donor relationships and planning a fundraising event? These metaphors just seem to write themselves!
