Turn Up the Heat

Crafting a delicious suite for a signature DC event.

The Turn Up the Heat logo

The 10th annual Turn Up the Heat gala hit an important goal in 2015—passing the $2 million mark for funds raised through the event over the last decade. We were honored to work on this important fundraiser, and gave it a new identity that we carried through the invitation suite, program, and signage.

We crafted a logo for the event that can be used for years to come, pulling inspiration from a gas stove burner. We used dark colors and the Alliance’s main brand color, teal, to further brand the event as an elegant and fun evening.

We worked with Global Printing for the collateral, with invitations and program cover printed on Neenah Stardream paper to supply the shimmer to match the feel of this glitzy event.

The 2015 event had more attendees than ever – over 400 – as well as over 60 chefs and mixologists coming together to support this important cause. The event raised $228,927.
