Texas Advocacy Project's Black & White Ball With Heather Bellino

What this episode covers

How can steady and passionate leadership help take your gala or signature fundraiser to become a must-attend event that raises seven figures?  Today, I talk with Texas Advocacy Project CEO Heather Bellino about the organization's signature fundraising event The Black & White Ball. For over 20 years, Heather's tireless advocacy and passion to provide free legal services to survivors of dating and domestic abuse, sexual assault, child abuse, and human trafficking has created an organization that is one of the most respected and admired in the United States. Over the years, the Black & White Ball has steadily grown and evolved and last year broke the million-dollar mark for the first time. In this episode, Heather talks about a wide range of topics including ways to successfully evolve your organization with a growing city and state, the importance of long-term planning in creating a successful gala, and tips on creating an exciting live auction that encourages donors to give generously. This is one episode you will not want to miss.
