How was the charity gala, did we ever get an amount of how much was raised?
We're still counting the numbers, but estimations are already far beyond our expectations! But it's practically nothing compared to the sheer amount of connections our fair city-state has made from the event. I still feel like I could have done more to make the event truly shine, but for now I'm elated to say it was a smashing success in both helping Midnight City secure its future!
Given that it was a charity 8all, perhaps it is the only social occasion where losing money at the ta8les is considered a virtue. Were you accompanied 8y anyone?
It’s wonderful to hear that, and I hope the additional funding will ena8le Midnight City to run even more smoothly. As someone who has organised numerous events, I know there’s always an internal drive to outdo ourselves, 8ut you should 8e proud of how successfully you pulled off such a tightly‑timed affair. Perhaps next time you might allow a little extra lead‑time for prepar8tion. May I ask how many attendees you had?
Including the annex and many +1's people brought, roughly over 50 people. Discounting staff and...party crashes. Many people loitered in the annex but never stuck around, so I've opted to not include them and instead individuals who stayed to donate and interact. For a moment the ballroom itself was at max capacity, but thankfully not for too long. As for events? Haha, I don't know if I'd like to outdo myself, but one of the biggest event organizers on Alternia said they would like to collaborate sometime and I think having someone else at the helm would do my wonders. I've spent most of my life as an assistant for a reason, after all. Easier to follow a vision than chart your own.
