Disco Fever Is Staying Alive!
January 6th, 2010The Rare Chair Affair for the Wisconsin Breast Cancer Coalition was a huge success! The disco-themed fundraiser was held at the Harley-Davidson Museum and I loved being able to transform the space into an inspiring and fun disco club.

A highlight at the event were the professional disco dancers from Fred Astaire Dance Studios. The dancers performed throughout the party on two dedicated performance stages – one of the stages was the centerpiece of the bar.

Guests were also dazzled and delighted by the lounge areas that showed disco videos on the flat screen TVs as well as the cabaret tables that were dressed with mirrored table linens, lucite chairs and dangling crystal chandeliers.

To end the night, Sound by Design played the top favorite disco tunes and guests went wild on the dance floor – even I couldn’t resist!

Key Elements To A Successful Fundraiser
- Include auction items that are unique experiences – not tangible items that people can easily buy.
- Use specialty lighting to highlight important areas such as the auction tables, raffle selling station and the entertainment stage.
- Choose a creative theme that is appropriate for the organization and that will be exciting for your guests.
- Create an atmosphere that motivates people to spend money and feel good about the cause that they are supporting. This requires photographs, videos, live specialty entertainment, good food, consistent branding and a smooth and comfortable flow from beginning to end.
