“Aurice is fantastic. We did our first online fundraiser on May of 2021 and needed help get off the ground. After speaking with a handful of "experts" in coordinating events for nonprofits, we were discouraged as all of them told us not to expect to raise much. Aurice, however, had a positive attitude, was encouraging, and we ended up raising 127% of our goal. We will be ecstatic to work with Aurice again in the future.”

With their expertise, we exceeded our goals, selling 1,000 tickets and attracting over 1,100 attendees, creating a powerful and enjoyable experience. They modernized the conference, expanded our audience, and provided invaluable guidance throughout the process. They helped us identify conference colors (brand identity) that connected to our mission, vision, and desired outcomes. She provided consultation on the development of the Sponsorship Guide and talked me through how to negotiate the venue contracts (venue, sound, security, etc) Aurice's creative suggestions, like live-streaming keynotes and fun activities during intermission/passing periods, added excitement. Working with her was a pleasure. Overall, the event was a hit and made the County Superintendent of Schools extremely proud!”
