Entertainment Report: Jay Leno!

Two birds with one stone:
1) We had the pleasure of working with the former Tonight Show host and car enthusiast Jay Leno
2) for a really good cause: one of Orange County, California's longest running charitable events, the annual St. Joseph Foundation's Celebration 2015.

Location: the Newport Beach Marriott Hotel & Spa.
Date: Saturday, October 17th.
Guest Count: 520 seated dinner guests.










As you know Ted Bowers and Jay Leno share their love of classic automobiles and had worked together in the past.

Ted: "Jay Leno is well known for his big heart for charitable causes. He often donates time and effort to the Make-a-Wish organization and he supports several health and children related causes. So it seemed natural to approach him for the St. Joseph Foundation's Celebration 2015.

He really delivered - above and beyond! He entertained the guests with his 60-minute stand-up show and continued on to enhance the live auction until late into the evening.

The foundation had an award-winning professional auctioneer. Jay stepped in and worked in tandem with the auctioneer to help increase the bidding and excitement.

He did not stop there!
Jay also auctioned off private tours of his famous car collection at his Big Dog Garage, now shown on CNBC on Wednesdays at 10pm.
Jay kept pushing the donation level up, good-naturedly pressuring the guests to raise their hands. Jay's generous gesture raised an unexpected, large 5-figure amount!

We always love to work for this good cause.
This year, St. Joseph Foundation's Celebration benefited the St. Joseph Hospital Innovating for a Healthier Community campaign. The funds will be applied to the St. Joseph Hospital PET/CT purchase. More than a machine, this is peace of mind. One of only two of its kind anywhere in the United States, it combines CT X-ray scans with positron-emitting nuclear medicine scans to produce images of unparalleled detail.

We are grateful to Jay Leno for bringing in 100% commitment to entertaining the guests and supporting the cause!"








We have had the honor of providing design and technical production for the St. Joseph Foundation Celebration for many years.
Each year, we have the pleasure of working with celebrities who are giving their best.
We are grateful to have the opportunity to be a part of such a worthwhile cause.

Warm regards,

Janet
