Turner Construction, an i
nternational construction firm, wanted to create a networking and fundraising event for Childrens Hospital, one of their larger customers. The event was billed as Surf's Up for Children's Hospital. Brown Bear Events created a beach in the Turner Construction parking lot by requesting a critical, in-kind donation of sand from one of their sub-contractors. We decked out the parking lot with additional decor and decorations to complete the beach scene.The evening started with cocktails, appetizers and a silent auction. There were plenty of activities for guests to participate in, including a mechanical surf machine, frisbee skills game, and more. The main event for the evening was the live auction, featuring unique, one of a kind lots for people to bid on. The evening ended with live music and dancing.
Surf's Up was a huge success, accomplishing dual goals. It served as a networking event for Turner employees and partners, allowing them to mingle, meet and develop relationships. Children's Hospital benefited as well, as they received tens of thousands of dollars in proceeds from Turner attendees.
TRUSTe, the leading advocate for privacy and security on the internet, celebrated their first ten years in business and wanted to mark the occasion with an elegant gala event. Original founders, executive staff, partners, clients and staff were invited to celebrate with their peers and enjoy an evening
at the MH De Young Museum. The goal was to trace the history of TRUSTe's efforts to protect consumer privacy and enhance transactional security in the ever-changing landscape of the world wide web. The event opened with cocktails, delicious appetizers and an opportunity to mix and mingle with industry peers. Several keynote speakers, who were involved with TRUSTe over the years, addressed guests and talked about the transition from start up to industry maverick and what to expect in the next ten years. An exquisite dinner was served, followed by music and dancing to the sounds of Moon Alice.
The event achieved its goal of creating a fun, festive environment for guests to relax and celebrate their achievements of the past ten years and helped share the vision for the next ten years.
Nikon Live Rockshots
Nikon, in partnership with Live Nation and Printroom.com, created the Rockshots program to create a link between quality photography equipment and live music. Brown 
Bear Events was enlisted to staff and manage promotional activities at a dozen concerts at the Shoreline Amphitheater.
The event crew takes photos of fans at the Nikon Photo Op and post them to the NikonLive website for fans to view and purchase prints. We have a range of Nikon cameras on display, enabling concert goers to experience the quality of Nikon first hand. We also conduct a Plinko game, where lucky fans win t-shirts, grocery bags, bandannas and other logo'd prizes.
This program has been very successful in creating a positive association between live music, Nikon Cameras and consumers' concert experiences. Printroom.com and NikonLive.com have measured increased traffic to their websites and added revenue from downloads and purchases of photos throughout the length of the promotion.
