“The raisin Gala Module facilitated a strong online presence for our signature event – An Evening with Tony Blair. Our ability to integrate creative elements helped to ensure consistent branding while providing purchasers with a user-friendly way to purchase tables and tickets. Use of the additional pages on the site gave us the opportunity to recognize our sponsors and display photos after the event. It was a great way to celebrate our success, and to start generating excitement for next year’s gala!”
