The Always There Annual Gala was developed and managed as a signature fundraising event, beginning with An Evening in Tuscany and evolving into an interactive, guest-driven experience. To increase participation and excitement, JA Design created a social voting contest that allowed guests and the wider audience to choose which country the event would be based on each year. The selected destination then shaped the entire evening, influencing décor, branding, cuisine, entertainment, and overall atmosphere, creating an immersive cultural experience that strengthened engagement, boosted attendance, and deepened community connection year after year.
This year’s An Evening in Paris brought the magic of the City of Light to life, immersing honorees and guests in a Parisian village of elegant auctions, street-inspired café settings, and charming décor reminiscent of the city’s famed boulevards. Guests were captivated by Moulin Rouge dancers and live performances, creating a vibrant, theatrical atmosphere throughout the evening. From gourmet French cuisine to themed entertainment and intricate design details, the gala celebrated Parisian flair at every turn, offering an unforgettable experience that delighted attendees and elevated the spirit of the event.
