How can an organization host a fundraising gala that reflects the tapestry of the communities they serve?

In today’s episode, I talk with IM Houston's CEO Sheroo Mukhitar and Chief Development Officer Maria Magee, about the organization's upcoming signature fundraising event, The Tapestry Gala.

The Tapestry Gala has long been known for drawing various parts of the Houston community together which aligns with the IM Houston's mission of bringing diverse faith traditions together for dialogue, collaboration and service while creating a gala that is a fun experience for their guests.

Sheroo and Maria share their knowledge and expertise on a variety of topics, including how galas are an important vehicle for stewarding relationships with major donors, creating a large, devoted following for your signature fundraising event, the keys to creating strong relationships between a nonprofit and an event committe, and so much more.

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist

It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
