August 2000
Our client produced and executed an Legacy Event for Bristol Myers
Squibb raising funds for the local YMCA. The event concept entailed a team building
carnival "Victory Carnival where BMS staff was "Living the Values." Game
contestants played carnival games and were rewarded with Doubloons (wooden nickels.) The
Doubloons were turned in to the redemption center and counted for each team. The leader
board kept tally of the teams points as the evening continued. The team with the highest
score was the winner along with the local YMCA that had burned down a few months earlier.
For every Doubloons returned BMS donated $1.00 to the YMCA. IN all over $25,000 dollars
were raised in 3 hours.
Guests reacted well to the event and played fast and furious as the
evening continued. The featured event was the " Playing Against Plainsboro" the
BMS home office. This game featured 4 Double Shot basketball games were staff could double
up their points by beating a manager at basketball. This event required extra game
attendants and extra game referees to staff an hour of featured play. "Play Against
Plainsboro was the hit of the evening drawing over 500 staff in one hour.
This Legacy event is a fine example of a planners innovative
solution to a clients needs. Creating this event left a Legacy at the local level and
created a 100% tax deductible evening event for BMS. |
