Founded in 2001, Donors are Heroes is a wonderful organization of volunteers aiming to raise the public’s awareness of the positive impact of organ and tissue donation, working hand-in-hand with the Gift of Life and the Transplant Foundation. We were honored to be given the opportunity to help this great cause by helping with the audio/visual and lighting design elements, captured beautifully by the talented Lafayette Hill Studios:

There were several goals to accomplish for this event with regards to lighting design. We were tasked with adequately illuminating the ballroom for guest safety and theme enhancement while simultaneously ensuring the aerial performers could be seen without having the lighting interfere with their routines. To achieve these goals, we lit the perimeter of the ground floor as well as the balconies using LED uplighting in spring green and bright teal, we washed the ceiling with a foliage pattern in spring green, and washed the performance area with dark amber out-of-focus breakup patterns. Towards the end of the evening, DJ Eddie Tully and singer Jessy Kyle provided entertainment for the hundreds of people in attendance, and we helped make sure they were seen and heard by using our sophisticated D&B AudioTechnik PA system and a dark amber stage wash. Strategically placed magnetic LED pin spot fixtures were placed throughout the space to illuminate the floral decor and small details, adding depth and focus. Special thanks to Lafayette Hill Studios for the gorgeous photos you see throughout this post.
