Thank you for helping us raise $41,500 at our Birthday Bash!
A recap of the event on 5/03/2022
What a night! We are grateful to our partners, members, and supporters for helping us celebrate our third birthday on May 3rd at Fair Market. In total, more than 300 of y’all came out to celebrate, mingle, bid, and help us raise funds for our high-impact programs. And raise we did, we couldn’t be more proud to share that this incredible community helped us raise a total of $41,500!
These funds will go directly to sustaining and building programs that help us achieve our mission and support every person who wants a chance at CPG Entrepreneurship while building an equitable community that receives them with open arms.
A big part of our night was the silent auction, there were thirteen stunning packages to bid on with a total value of more than $10,000. Our incredible member-brands donated amazing items to make this integral part of our fundraiser possible.
Beatbox Beverages, Poppi, Oval.bio, Franklin BBQ, Richard’s Rainwater, and Super Coffee all shared large packages and show-stopping goods that our guests were lucky to snag.
In addition to the branded packages, partygoers had the opportunity to bid on six themed packages with a truly special mix of member-brand-products. For making these possible, a big thank you to: Shar Snacks, Homescape Pets, Tough Cutie, Casero, Rosemary’s, Austin Eastciders, Kibo, Sanara Skincare, Yelo Botanicals, Butter’d Bodycare, Plant People, Mantra Labs, Mushroom Revival, Small Hold, Violet Fog Potions, Slow Ride, Everly, and Keystone Bank.
The silent auction was a blast, but silent auctions do not make a party - for this bash we needed tunes, food, cake and drinks - and we have a whole lot of people to thank for bringing them! A big thank you to our DJ, Javi Arredondo, the SXSE food truck, Tito’s Handmade Vodka, Epic Western, Beatbox, Austin Eastciders, Richard’s Rainwater, Poppi and Better Bites Bakery.
Last but not least, a big thank you to Jetter Photography for capturing all the incredible photos and the photobooth! And a big, huge, gigantic thank you to our amazing event sponsors: Aion Fi, Bank of America, Creative Haven, CSC Leasing, McCormick FONA, Everly, Presence Marketing!
But wait, the party isn’t over!
Stay tuned to our social all month, because we can’t stop celebrating! We’ll be raffling prizes, auctioning more amazing products and even discounting our individual and corporate memberships throughout the month. Let’s keep this party going!
