...we truly owe all of it to Sandra because she exceeded our expectations on all levels.
"
Huy Vo, Director of Public Relations at The Ritz-Carlton Residences, Waikiki Beach
When The Ritz-Carlton Residences, Waikiki Beach was planning its annual employee gala with a 20’s theme to celebrate year 2020, we looked to Sandra as our creative partner to develop a highly-produced event that would “wow” our Ladies and Gentlemen and stay true to our brand. All we did was simply share our vision and Sandra executed an extraordinary event that has been lauded by our Ladies and Gentlemen as the most exceptional employee gala we have had since our opening in 2016. To this day, our Ladies and Gentlemen continue to talk about what amazing evening it was, and we truly owe all of it to Sandra because she exceeded our expectations on all levels.
Sandra started her event career planning million dollar fundraisers in Southern California. She has always felt called to plan and design purposeful events. To fully get to know the “why” behind a mission and to work alongside an organization to dream, to plan and to achieve more together is truly the heart behind our business. Finishing Touch will help develop a fundraising program that is catered to your unique community. With our extensive experience in procurement in corporate sponsorships and in-kind donations, we have a proven track record of highly successful fundraising events such as auctions (live and web based), charity walks and runs, golf tournaments and galas.
We will help recruit sponsors, participants and volunteers; we will also help train and mentor your fundraising staff. We will work with our public relations partners and media to raise awareness of your cause and fundraising event to encourage participation and to maximize the amount of money raised. Together, with a team of compassionate visionaries and with the support of a great community, Sandra had helped to build up two Hawaii based, grassroots 501(c)(3) nonprofit organizations - Love Gives Hawaii and Nai’a Ohana, from the ground up and had raised over $150,000 over the course of just three short years, benefiting homeless families, at-risk youths and children in our local community. We can’t wait to hear your story and to work together to serve our community well.
