Families Unlimited Network Week of F.U.N. 2020
Fun Fact

"Hiring GFS Events was the best decision Families Unlimited Network made when our Gala/Auction pivoted to an on-line event. Gazala and her staff provided insightful and accurate input on how F.U.N.'s event should be customized. Alex, our personal project manager, provided a step by step outline for achieving our objectives, facilitated weekly meetings to answer questions and to give us gentle pokes, and she connected us with vendors necessary to execute our plan. Following GFS's recommendations, we exceeded our event goal by $25K. Thanks GFS Events, we couldn't have done it alone!"
