Asia Society Texas Center's Tiger Ball With Bonna Kol And Rishi Varma

How can a nonprofit transform any space in a way that effectively tells the story of the organization and inspires the audience to give more?

Today, I talk with Bonna Kol, President of the Asia Society Texas Center and Rishi Varma, one of the co-chairs of Tiger Ball, the organization's signature fundraising events. This year's theme, Enchanting Shanghai will celebrate various aspects of both Shanghai and Chinese Culture.

For many years, Tiger Ball has dazzled the audience with innovative themes that effectively showcase specific aspects of Asian culture in an elegant, informative, and fun way. What makes the event even more dazzling is how they transform The Asia Society Texas Center's parking lot into a majesic, tented wonderland that brings the outside in.

In this episode, Bonna and Rishi discuss a wide range of topics including building a loyal following, creating an effective event theme selection process, deciding if moving your signature fundraiser to your organization's headquarters is the right move, and more. This is one episode you will not want to miss.
