Meredith Events is thrilled to announce that Dinner on the River, a collaborative endeavor with Vibrant Occasions Catering, philanthropist Cat Sims and a host of fabulous event vendors has been honored with the prestigious 2024 ACE Award for Catered Micro Event of the Year. This recognition underscores the meticulous planning, creativity, and dedication invested in curating unforgettable experiences for our clients. From conceptualization to execution, Dinner on the River epitomized the essence of sophistication and elegance.

Dinner on the River served as the glamorous kickoff for content creator Cat Sims' philanthropic mission, marking the launch of her fundraising campaign in support of the Arkansas Chapter's Children's Tumor Foundation. As a selected dancer for the Dancing with Our Stars competition, Cat utilized this elegant soirée to raise both funds and awareness for neurofibromatosis (NF) research and care. Surrounded by friends, fellow content creators, and supporters, the evening was not only a celebration of Cat's participation in this impactful endeavor but also a demonstration to the power of community coming together to make a difference in the lives of those affected by NF.

I’m writing this on December 3, 2022, the day after I got booted from the Fab Over 40 fundraiser competition. I must admit, I knew nothing about this type of online voting campaign before I got involved. As I became more deeply entrenched, it was virtually impossible to find any type of strategy or real insight about this event online, so I decided to write about my own experience in the hope that someone might find this helpful if they are considering entering Fab Over 40 or any type of online voting fundraiser competition.

Let me first say that I am 100% happy that I entered Fab Over 40, raised funds for the National Breast Cancer Foundation and hopefully inspired other women over 40 to embrace their age and do something outside of their comfort zone. So many good things to say about this type of campaign, but this blog post is about tips, strategies and how to raise funds, so if some parts sound critical it’s only because I am giving you, dear readers, my critical eye and interpretation on how to go about winning.
