Love 21 are a fantastic charity in Hong Kong who empower the local Down syndrome and autistic community through sport, nutrition and holistic support programmes. After a few hard years which included literally having to build their support centre from the ground back up again, 2024 was set to be an exciting one with their first ever gala fundraising event. The event was designed to raise much needed funds to allow more families to have access to Love 21’s incredible programmes, to raise awareness of the fantastic work they do and also celebrate those who support the fantastic charity. The event had the theme set – Shoot for the Stars – and The Giles Agency were on board to help bring this to life!
Love 21 are fortunate to have a very distinctive brand identity which is vibrant and colourful, much like their members! For the gala dinner we wanted to create a design that included this spirit, but that also added an element of sophistication befitting a gala event. We created a key visual which centred on the sky is the limit theme and that could be used across all communications – social media, email, posters, WhatsApp, as well as at the venue as focus points. We also helped design a sales presentation to be used to encourage corporate sponsors to get involved.
The inaugural gala dinner was held at The Hong Kong Football Club on 27th April 2024 and was more than a resounding success with Love 21 raising over HK$3.8M which will be used to go towards supporting well over 100 new families with their holistic family support programmes.
“Jennifer Campbell and the great team at The Giles Agency, kindly offered to help Love 21 in the design of the theme, including marketing materials and backdrop for their very first Gala Dinner. The event was a huge success with over 543 guests who helped raise over HKD3.8M, after costs – a terrific result. This would not have been possible without The Giles Agency. They were not only enthusiastic and professional, but were able to listen and convert the content to hit the spot quickly. Additional requests for support were quickly met and with great quality. We look forward to partnering with Jen and the team on an ongoing basis. Thank you to The Giles Agency, you helped make our night.”
