Client Spotlight: MJE Downtown Gala

Date: Thursday, November 5, 2009
Location: Prince George Ballroom, New York City
Attendees: 300

When the Manhattan Jewish Experience decided to have its inaugural gala for their Downtown location, they immediately reached out to Iris Fields to help with the planning, marketing and implementation. Iris Fields was there every step of the way to help organize a flawless event. In addition to event production support, Iris Fields also organized the fundraising efforts, utilizing the committee members to bring in donated products and services.

MJE Downtown Gala committee members, distinguishable by their blue ribbons, hosted the event; while 300 young, Jewish professionals gathered for the four hour event to network as well as support MJE Downtown. This being the inaugural gala for MJE Downtown, Iris Fields and MJE sought to make it an interactive experience that went above and beyond, leaving the attendees wanting more. In addition to food and drink, Iris Fields implemented a silent auction, raffle, wine tasting and entertainment in the form of a magician and several DJs. Guests ended the night with a Screme sponsored gelato station, and Plaza Too and Godiva gift bags. Due to the success of the evening, next years Second Annual MJE Downtown Gala is sure to be another night to remember.
