800+ people attended this year’s buildOn Global Gala held at the Hilton in Stamford, CT. Courtney and Co lead the Gala Committee and produced all communications including invitation, program, environmental installations and graphics.
New to this year’s Gala was two 3-dimensional museum-quality installations where guests could purchase selected items like a chalkboard, brick or day of community service to help fund the US and International programs. A 20′ foot Discovery Wall was constructed that included 20 questions about buildOn and nudged viewers to interact with the piece to reveal the answers.
Our team traveled to Connecticut to volunteer and help set up the installations, and then stayed to attend the event. The biggest fundraising event of the year, the event raised over 1.2 Million Dollars for buildOn’s domestic and international programs. A huge success!
Here are a selection of photos from Bryan Cary.

I’m a New Yorker and smarter than that. But, for some reason the JC Penney display caught my eye. Could it be a distant memory of following my Mom through a JC Penney in upstate New York when I was a young boy. Or, maybe it was curiosity. How could models stand behind cellophane without sweating or losing their dignity in 80 degree weather in front of one of the world’s busiest transportation hubs.
