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.
