Like all nonprofits this year, Grant Halliburton Foundation took to the drawing board to reimagine its signature fall fundraising event, The Hope Party. With the help of a dedicated event committee and the generous support of so many sponsors and donors, The Hope Party at Home—an elevated live virtual party—was a resounding success.
Sponsors hosted small gatherings in their homes, and more than 400 people tuned in to watch the virtual broadcast. Here are a few special elements that helped this event retain its reputation as “the most fun you can have for a good cause!”
