EVENT:
Annual Fundraiser

CLIENT:
Brunswick School

OVERVIEW:
Brunswick School in Greenwich has been a client of Event Resources for several years now. Each spring, the school sponsors a fundraiser to benefit its scholarship program. Every year the theme and the program change, but it always demands that those involved are well organized and creative. In 2005, Brunswick teamed up with fellow ERI clients, Westport/Greenwich retailers Richard’s and Mitchell’s, and with Best & Co., a children’s clothing company that is owned and run by Susie Hilfiger, to host a fashion show and luncheon. Because the event took place in the Brunswick field house, designing it to look like a different space is quite a challenge. This particular theme was Breakfast at Tiffany’s – with Audrey Hepburn’s classic black hat as the centerpiece of each table, and trademark Tiffany blue accents throughout. Event Resources was brought in to design and create a beautiful runway, with space and sound support for the fashion show’s backing band. The use of jet-black drapery and bright white stage vinyl made the runway demand the audience’s attention. Event Resources also provided sound and theatrical lighting to complete the overall effect, in addition to supplying electrical generators to power all of sound, lights, and catering for the 500 guests.
