As dedicated marketing and events professionals in Northern Colorado, we are thrilled to share the incredible success of The Family Center-La Familia’s recent Fiesta Party, which took place at The Lyric on Saturday, September 23. This community fundraiser was a true testament to the power of collective action, and it not only brought people together, but it also raised over $40,000 to support The Family Center’s vital work. Setting the Stage The Lyric was the perfect venue for this festive event. Its eclectic charm matched the colorful and vibrant celebration. The Lyric prides itself on its commitment to fostering community connections, and it was the ideal choice for The Family Center’s event. As a business that often collaborates with nonprofits to expand their presence through events and campaigns, we were impressed with The Lyric’s ability to resonate with the event’s mission. The Fiesta Experience The Fiesta Party was an unforgettable experience, filled with live music provided by Salsa Forte, delicious food, and a lively atmosphere. The music and vibe inspired guests to dust off their dancing shoes and join the musical fun. Raising Over $40,000 One of the most remarkable aspects of this event was its fundraising success. Our dedicated team worked hard with The Family Center staff to curate an extensive silent auction display that inspired guests to bid on packages that included artwork from local artists, local brews and wines, and fun experiences. The Family Center surpassed their fundraising goal, raising over $40,000, through the silent auction, live auction, and paddle raise. This achievement is a testament to the hard work and dedication of everyone involved, from the event organizers to donors who opened their hearts and wallets to support a worthy cause. The Impact We understand the importance of not only raising funds but also expanding a nonprofit’s presence in the community. The Family Center’s Fiesta Party achieved both of these objectives. Not only did it provide critical financial support, but it also increased awareness of The Family Center’s mission and the important role it plays in our community. We were inspired by the success of this event and proud to be the planning partners for the festivities. Events like the Fiesta Party serve as a reminder that when we unite for a common cause, we can achieve remarkable results that benefit us all.

Mariachi Magic Immediately following the ceremony, guests were invited to visit over tasty cocktails and passed appetizers while being serenaded by the lively tunes of a Mariachi band - adding a touch of tradition and irresistible energy to the evening! This added a special element of fun to the entire evening! An Evening of Elegance The reception was equally beautiful and special! Guests dined and danced in a tent adorned with delicate chandeliers and twinkling lights - transforming the backyard into a beautifully lit wonderland. The food was beautifully catered and presented, the wine was flowing, and the music and speeches were heartfelt and entertaining. A Sparkler Send-Off As the night drew to a close, Savannah and Connor’s grand exit was nothing short of spectacular! Guests formed a shimmering pathway of sparklers, creating a dazzling tunnel of light for the newlyweds. The joy and love in the air were palpable as the couple made their way through this radiant send off.

We are grateful that slate360 chooses to rely on BIG DAY Company to plan all of the intricate details of their annual company retreat. Travel, lodging, meals, break-outs, excursions, transportation... it can take months to pull it all together and pull it off. We love what we do - and the end result of bringing our clients JOY! Planning Considerations from the Experts at BIG DEAL Company: Does the destination align with your meeting priorities? The first thing to consider is that the destination must work for the business purpose. What are your priorities for the meeting? What kind of team building do you envision? Will you want to do group activities or let people choose their own adventure? What time of year will work best? Answering these questions are the first step in selection your destination. Location, location, location... Once you've identified your business priorities, the next step is to narrow down your location options. What type of team do you have? What kind of company are you? What type of venue are you looking for? As you ponder your location options, also consider the type of venue that you're looking for. Are you ready to pull out all the stops for a luxurious celebration? Do you need a functional space where your team can work hard and then play hard? Budget and Attendance As you narrow down your wish list, it's likely that your location and venue selection will boil down to how many people it can accommodate and how it will fit into your budget. Also, consider peak visitation and plan accordingly - you may be able to receive discounts or more robust packages during the off season. Planes, Trains and Automobiles Even the most wonderful venue can become a nightmare when it comes to transportation. Consider distance from a major airport, transportation availability and cost for large groups, back up options if needed, and proximity to entertainment, dining, etc. You've Selected the Location. Now What? This is where the sky is the limit! Consider both group options and plenty of free time to explore. By giving your employees time to soak up the sun and fresh air, your meetings will be more relaxed and productive. We Do It So You Don't Have To Destination planning isn't for the faint of heart! We're here to help. We travel! A destination meeting is a big deal, and so are we! Let us find the perfect experience to meet your company's needs, budget and expectations.

The event brought together community sponsors, educational supporters, and golf enthusiasts alike. It was a huge success, bringing together players for a day of friendly competition, all to support the fundraising efforts of Thompson Education Foundation. The Perfect Swing for a Cause The greens of Loveland’s Mariana Butte Golf Course played host to the tournament. Golfers arrived just after the sun rose above the course peaks - ready to play and eager to make a difference. They were greeted with breakfast burritos and hot coffee. We were also met with the most perfect weather for golf! The Joy of Giving This tournament serves as a significant fundraiser for TEF’s Dr. Stan Scheer Memorial Student Opportunity Fund. The Dr. Stan Scheer Memorial Student Opportunity Fund provides gap funding for Thompson School District students to embrace individual academic, leadership, recognition and extracurricular opportunities to ensure opportunities when there are financial barriers in the way. Golfers were encouraged to help raise more funds through games and course activities like “Beat the Pro” and Mulligans to provide additional game play. Friendly Competition and Camaraderie The tournament attracted both seasoned golfers and newcomers, creating an environment of healthy competition and camaraderie. Players displayed their skills across the fairways, aiming for the elusive hole-in-one while networking and fostering meaningful connections on the course. A Day of Fun-Filled Activities Beyond the swings and birdies, event staff and Big Deal Company ensured that participants and event sponsors enjoyed a fun-filled day. There were exciting games to foster competition and opportunities to win prizes - including golfing passes for Mariana Butte. Golfers were able to enjoy cold drinks at course beverage carts and were treated to lunch at the conclusion of the event. Games, drinks, and food helped make it an enjoyable experience for all involved. A Heartfelt Thank You The success of the tournament would not have been possible without the support of all those involved - the golf pros, event professionals, foundation staff members, and sponsors. This year, the event was presented by Bank of Colorado and FCI Constructors, Inc. First National Bank of Omaha served as Club Sponsor, while construction company Saunders Heath was the Tee Sponsor. Weedin Agency was the Hole in One Sponsor, and Center for Advanced Dentistry and Wold helped provide the Beverage Carts for thirsty golfers. The 2023 Hole Sponsors were: Cunningham Ent Credit Union Holcim Foothills Credit Union Good Samaritan Society - Loveland Village Xfinity Blas Estrada from The Group Collegiate Peaks Bank Starr & Westbrook, P.C. Attorneys at Law BIG DEAL Company Haynie & Company TEF’s golf tournament and fundraiser exemplified the power of coming together for a greater cause.
