Asia Society's Tiger Ball 2024 With Saleena Jafry And Stephanie Todd Wong

How does a nonprofit create fun, impactful, and visually appealing event that provides an unforgettable experience for donors? Today, I talk with Asia Society's Vice President of Development Saleena Jafry, and Vice President of Communications Stephanie Todd-Wong about the organization's upcoming signature fundraising event Tiger Ball 2024: Celebrating Magnificent Asia.

Tiger Ball is an annual, seven-figure gala in Houston and one of Texas' most anticipated annual nonprofit signature fundraising events. Proceeds raised from Tiger Ball go towards furthering The Asia Society's mission of navigating shared futures for Asia and the world across policy, arts and culture, education, sustainability, business, and technology.

In this episode, Saleena and Stephanie provide great insights on a range of topics including advice on starting a chapter of an organization in a new city, the importance of having great relationships with event chairs, and tips on creating fun, innovative themes that keep donors coming back year after year.
