Case Study: Mary’s Place raises over $2 million for families experiencing homelessness with SHW

Mary’s Place raises over $2 million with SHW

Mary’s Place, a Seattle-based non-profit, faced the challenge of launching its inaugural fundraising gala to support families experiencing homelessness. They partnered with event management vendor SHW to provide strategic event consulting and production management for the new event.

SHW managed all aspects of the gala, including venue, food and beverage, and entertainment, while facilitating powerful storytelling to connect guests to the mission. The solution implemented by SHW was highly successful, raising over $2 million, far exceeding its $500,000 goal. A key measurable impact was a 50% capacity boost from Amazon's donation of a new 63,000-square-foot shelter space.
