TIOH Give Back Gala
Temple Israel of Hollywood partnered with Hudson & Nine to completely reimagine its annual fundraiser, transforming it into The Give Back Gala—a vibrant, modern celebration of community impact. We shifted from the traditional sit-down dinner to a high-energy, cocktail-style experience with open seating plus sponsor tables. From the moment guests arrived, a 10-piece band set an upbeat tone, while a cohesive, stylized visual identity came to life through bold graphics displayed on a larger-than-life projection screen. Every design detail, from spatial flow to branded elements, contributed to an elevated atmosphere that felt fresh, welcoming, and unique.
The Give Back Gala succeeded in honoring the extraordinary community work of TIOH’s members while raising essential funds for the synagogue and the causes it supports. Fundraising moments were woven naturally throughout the evening—silent auction, real-time giving displays, paddle raise—creating consistent engagement and inspiring generosity. The result was an energized, joyful celebration that not only modernized the gala format but also strengthened community connection and delivered meaningful financial impact. The Give Back Gala proved that a reimagined approach can reinvigorate tradition and elevate both participation and purpose.
