The Details

BACKGROUND

Starlight Children’s Foundation Canada’s Gala is an annual event sponsored by Toys “R” Us and Babies “R” Us. The money raised from the Gala goes towards funding Starlight’s in and out-of-hospital programming, which includes fun kits (essentials for unexpected hospital stays), hospital grants (funds for hospitals across the country to use on what kids need most), Fun Centres (portable stations equipped with a dvd player, Nintendo Wii, games and movies) and Day Brighteners (tickets to sports games, concerts and more).

AIM

Our objective was to gain media and public attention both locally and nationally, enhancing the success of the event and in turn, increasing the amount of funds and awareness raised for Starlight Children’s Foundation Canada.

HOW

EDPR was responsible for numerous facets of the Starlight Children’s Foundation Canada Gala, including:

  • Talent and media outreach
  • Event website design and management
  • Sponsorship ($65,000 was secured)
  • Regular blogging for the foundation
  • Social media strategy surrounding the event

On event day, talent and media wrangling became our main focus ensuring that photos, interviews and coverage was secured for our client.
