Glimpse into our events.

Best Buddies

Bay area Champion of the year gala

This is my favorite event of the year, a fundraising competition where whoever raises the most becomes the Champion of the Year.

Everyone in the room is rooting for each other to win, which is something you always don’t get in a competition. The energy in the room is unlike any other gala you will attend all year. There is lots of laughing and cheering and everyone is excited to be there.

Everyone leaves completely inspired.

“I hired Christine initially due to a staffing vacancy at our organization. Our objectives were still clear and we needed to engage and fundraise at our upcoming fundraiser to fund the mission and keep our doors open. We kept hiring Christine due to her work ethic, attention to detail, ability to connect and form meaningful working relationships with our team and volunteers…and because she is so much fun!”

YES Nature to Neighborhoods

We reimagined YES’s annual fundraising event with a completely new location, a fresh perspective, and a unique atmosphere to bring the Richmond community together.

From lively dance floor moments to friendly games of the camper's favorite Gaga Ball, the event was a celebration of togetherness. The highlight of the evening was the inspiring speeches delivered by community members, making it a truly special and memorable occasion.

Guests left reenergized and excited to stay involved.

Tori & Zack’s Wedding

“I honestly got a bit emotional writing a testimonial for you because we honestly had the best time and we are so grateful for you. You were such a crucial element in our wedding we feel so privileged to have crossed paths with you.

How lucky we were to find Christine. We had so many uncertainties and sources of stress planning our special day and once we met with her for the first time we instantly felt a huge sense of relief. She was so knowledgeable, thoughtful, and helpful during the planning stages and made it so we had absolutely nothing to worry about. She worked with our style perfectly and executed our vision better than we could have ever imagined. Our wedding day was the best and the way she took care of it all made it so easy for us to relax, be present in the moment with our loved ones, and enjoy our big event.”

“So many of our guests told us it was the best wedding they have ever been to. I am a bit biased but I would have to agree. Couldn't have done it without her.”

We love our clients!

“Christine has an impressive and admirable penchant for connecting with people and organizations on a deeper, more human level. I remain inspired by her relationship management skills, a phrase that suggests more formality than one ever felt when working with her. Christine is driven, efficient, and flexible, and she’s motivated by results, the most important of which was always that the organizations she chooses to champion succeed, powered by the people she brings together.

  • “Christine provided calm, joyful, organized leadership for the absolute zaniest of events! She showed deep respect for the volunteers and staff at every stage of planning and execution."

    —Lauren from The Hamlin School

  • "Christine has an exceptional ability to step into an event, quickly assess what’s working, and identify opportunities for improvement. She brings creative ideas, thoughtful solutions, and a fresh perspective to every project. Most recently, she led our highest-performing gala in the state—our best ever—after years of the event falling short of its goals. Christine leads with relationship-building, taking the time to truly understand what donors, participants, and volunteers value, which is exactly what makes her so successful."

    —Jessie from Best Buddies in California

  • "Christine stepped into the planning so seamlessly. She brought such a joyful and also calming presence to the planning and on the day-of."
