Charity: Water 2014 ‘CHAR I TY: BAL L’

Non-profit charity: water’s peak annual event was hosted at the Duggal Greenhouse this year; It was a special evening benefitting the people of Malawi and their need for safe, clean drinking water. Roughly 2,000 people attended the 8th annual ‘charity: ball,’ which raised nearly $4 million in funding while drawing attention to the 800 million people worldwide without access to life’s greatest necessity. Celebrities and royalty were in attendance as Caterpillar Inc. donated $1 million, through the Caterpillar Foundation, in an interactive fundraiser where guests carried jugs of water down the “waterwalk,” generating $1,000 with each participant. Duggal Global Events coordinated production facility logistics for the entire event, while Duggal Visual Solutions produced splashing interior graphics and design décor for the space. “We were so lucky to have found a venue and company as great as Duggal to partner with,” said Lauren Kane, Special Events Project Manager at charity: water. “Their entire team was such a pleasure to work with, and we can’t thank them enough for making the event a success.” Congratulations & heartfelt appreciation to the entire charity: water team.
