How does a nonprofit and community leaders effectively use existing relationships to create a dynamic, fun, and compelling signature fundraising event that draws people from all corners of your community?

Today, I talk with Scotty Sayers, Co-Chair of The Muny Conservancy and Suzanne Erickson, Director of Public Relations for the organizations upcoming signature fundraising event, Imagine Muny.

The Muny Conservancy was founded to preserve and save the Lions Municipal Golf Course. Over the past 101 years, residents of Austin and beyond have enjoyed this majestic green space just west of downtown. This year's Imagine Muny will be a seven figure fundraising night that will be capped off with a concert by country music legend Wynonna.

In this episode, Scotty and Suzanne talk about a wide range of topics including tips on getting nationally known headline performers to say yes to your gala or signature fundraising event, attracting event publicity across multiple media mediums, the importance of giving back to your community, and so much more. This is one episode you will not want to miss.
