Robin Hood Annual Benefit

Working with the Robin Hood Foundation speaks directly to our Nimblist core value of giving back to the community making the world a better place. This year was particularly special as Robin Hood celebrated its 30th Anniversary. The annual Benefit focuses on the thousands of supporters and volunteers who work to fight poverty in New York.

This year we helped the Jacob Javits Convention Center transform into a New York City landscape with dancers, creative scenery including marquee style signs setting the tone for the evening. The nearly 4,000 guests were greeted by a Times Square themed cocktail space to start the celebration. Oprah, Bill and Melinda Gates and Jennifer Lopez were just some of the invited guests and performers.

Our scope included executing the evening’s event providing technical production and oversight. In addition to the technical and lighting design, our skilled designers provided master drawings ensuring all elements fit and worked together seamlessly as well as handling responsibility for run of show, scripting and the production timeline. The crew included roughly 350 people including talent, staff, and production suppliers.
