Markets Wired

Houston, TX, October 10, 2019 –(PR.com)– Amanaah Refugee has developed different fundraising events that vary from volunteer events, sports, and galas. As you may know, the #1 challenge that most non-profit organizations faced is to raise funds while maximizing existing resources. That’s why Amaanah and Karana Audiovisual jointed efforts for their Annual Financial Gala: Rays of Change, hosted on May 12, 2019. Jida Nabulsi, CEO of Amaanah Refugee is committed to refugees from all over the world accommodating them in a different culture full of kindness and opportunity.

This event has been part of Amaanah’s fundraising efforts for years. Karana became a strategic partner in learning and understanding the high standards and details for this event. This year the real challenge was to decrease the investment for the gala by moving the event to a smaller room or venue. The goal was a room with a capability of 500 guests meaning that they will use 1/3 of their previous budget for the 2019 gala.

Karana Audio Visual provided a full production service, which includes: audio system for 500 guests, lighting, pipe and drapes, LED video screens, Image Magnification (IMAG), video switcher, AV engineers, and the Event Director.

“The AV is integral for a gala event because of the size of the room and making sure that the delivery of our message is heard and seen is the reason everyone attends and gives. Without the right team of AV this partnership could have been a nightmare for the evening program. I never realized the amount of work needed to put on a good show and Karana did an amazing job having a great crew with them,” Nabulsi says.

Now, what about tangible results? Rays of Change was able to receive 450 attendance, increase the ROI by 56% and decrease the audio visual costs to a 60%. The event raised $78,000 for the cause which means 22% of the annual goal.
