The Tribal Road to Environmental Protection

The National Tribal Environmental Council hired KRC to provide strategic guidance and manage a fundraiser and silent auction Oct. 26, 2004 in downtown San Francisco.

Nearly 100 people from across the country attended the event, which marked the one-year anniversary of NTEC's fundraising campaign to support "The Tribal Road to Environmental Protection" initiative. This was the first ever fundraiser for NTEC, a nonprofit based in Albuquerque, N.M. that dedicates itself to working with and assisting its 181 member tribes in the protection and preservation of tribal environments. KRC assisted in developing a host committee to draw additional people to the fundraiser. Members of the committee included Robert Redford and Jackie Johnson, Executive Director of the National Congress of the American Indians.

We handled Internet outreach to get the word out about the event and developed all materials, including an Evite which was sent to 4,000 people. KRC also oversaw the production and design of the event invitation. (See cover at left)

We solicited and received donations from numerous businesses, tribes and organizations in the country for the silent auction. KRC managed all event logistics, including site selection, catering, guest speaker selection, entertainment and auction set-up.
