Charity Cocktail Reception
Produced while serving as Director, Events & Partnerships at Wings for Life

Produced a private cocktail reception for Red Bull and Wings for Life, welcoming 80 VIP guests for an intimate evening in support of spinal cord injury research. The event featured Red Bull Racing legend David Coulthard and was designed to blend high-touch hospitality with mission-driven storytelling. We also partnered with a local footwear artist—whose personal connection to spinal cord injury brought added depth to the evening—to create custom shoes for select athletes participating in the charity run the following day, which guests were invited to attend.
