Saucony Block Party
Plastic red cups played heavily into Saucony's December 4 gathering at the Coppertank Events Center. A satellite event to the Running Event in Austin, the party featured a fence wall that spelled out the brand's name using Solo cups. The installation was meant to evoke a backyard or block-party feel.

The Children's Defense Fund's 22nd annual Beat the Odds award ceremony December 6 honored five Los Angeles high school students who overcame personal obstacles and achieved academic excellence. To incorporate the teenagers into the night's visuals, the organizers used a gallery of black-and-white portraits as the backdrop for the stage at the Beverly Hills Hotel.

Charity:Water
Charity:Water
An inventive ploy for on-the-spot donations, Charity:Water invited guests at its seventh Charity:Ball in New York to buy helium-filled balloons for $5 a pop. The attendees at the Monday-night event then could release the inflatables in a net shaped like a giant jerry can—an image the nonprofit uses to symbolize its mission of bringing clean water to developing countries.

Bloor Street Entertains
Bloor Street Entertains
Bloor Street Entertains, a fund-raiser for CANFAR, took place in several venues on the Toronto street on November 28. Students from Seneca College worked with event producer Spinraduis to design a table with an Elegant Winter theme in the William Ashley china shop. At each place setting, Christmas tree ornaments shaped like glittering presents served as name cards, and guests took home the festive trinkets at the end of the night. Ecostems designed the lush centerpiece.
