Name Tag Experience

Last month the GreenLight Fund, a Boston-based nonprofit organization, hosted a large fundraiser and party for our sixth portfolio organization, Single Stop USA. The event was an enormous success, raising over $425,000 for Single Stop’s community college initiative, which will be starting in Bunker Hill Community College next spring.

We were thrilled to have sleek wooden badge holders to keep our 550 name tags sorted and organized for our guests. Registration is the first thing our attendees see, and it’s important to ensure that everything stays clean and and tags are easy to find. Thank you Name Tag, Inc.!

The event took place in the Park Plaza Castle and started out with a cocktail hour. Guests mixed and mingled to the sounds of the Hot Tamale Brass Band, a local Boston favorite, while sipping on signature cocktails and tasting unique hors d’oeuvres.

Eventually the curtains opened to reveal the transformed dinner space. Guests dined on beef bourguignon as representatives from GreenLight and Single Stop spoke about the game-changing work being done across the nation for low-income community college students. At the end of the program, raffles were drawn and three lucky winners brought home gifts from our major sponsors: Rue La La, Rounder Records and Long’s Jewelers.

Dessert took place in the next room and guests danced the night away to hits performed by the Flipside. Attendees also let loose in our bling photo booth and recording booth.

Overall, the event was a great success — guests had fun and funds were raised for some of those people in our community who need it most!

Joette Crews was one of the winners of our Give Greatly holiday giveaways, winning a sleek Black Piano Desk Wedge. I asked her a few questions about her prize.

Ashley: What was your impression of the Black Piano Finish Desk Wedge when it first arrived?

Joette: It looks great on my bookcase. I just didn’t have enough room on my desk.

A: It was a gift for yourself. Where do you display it?

J: On my bookcase in my office.

A: Will you enter more Name Tag, Inc. contests? Why should someone enter?

J: Sure. You never know when you might get lucky.

Congratulations again, Joette! Enjoy your desk wedge!

You may have seen the previous post about our soon-to-be launching of three new websites, all under the parent company of Coller Industries, and be wondering, “I thought this was Name Tag, Inc. What in the world is Coller Industries?”
