Planning a successful fundraising event is about more than just securing a venue and selling tickets—it’s about creating an experience that inspires generosity and maximizes impact.

Stephanie, the founder of Socialite Event Planning, is honored to play a key role in organizing the Ms. Veteran America pageant, a powerful event that celebrates “The Woman Beyond the Uniform” while raising funds to provide housing for homeless women veterans and their children. With years of experience in corporate and nonprofit event planning, she knows what it takes to execute a seamless, high-impact fundraiser. Whether you’re hosting a gala, charity auction, or large-scale corporate fundraising event, working with a professional planner ensures everything runs smoothly – so you can focus on your mission.
What is Ms. Veteran America?
Women Veterans are one of the fastest-growing homeless populations in America, with over half of them being single mothers. The Ms. Veteran America competition is more than just an event – it’s an advocacy and awareness event initiative that highlights not only the strength, courage, and sacrifice of these women but also their roles as mothers, daughters, sisters, and wives.
Proceeds from Ms. Veteran America directly support Final Salute, an organization dedicated to providing housing for homeless women veterans and their children.
Each year, women veterans from across the country participate in a year-long selection process, leading up to the final event where the top 20 contestants compete for the title of Ms. Veteran America. The winner then spends the year representing the cause and raising awareness for homeless women veterans.
To date, this organization has helped over 8,000 women veterans and children find housing and resources.
Although the Ms. Veteran America competition is currently on hiatus, the mission to support homeless women veterans continues. If you’d like to contribute to this cause, Click Here.
The Role of a Fundraising Event Planner in Large-Scale Charity Events
Just like any corporate event, a fundraising event planner reduces stress, streamlines logistics, and ensures your event aligns with your mission and budget. However, fundraising events require a specialized approach—they must not only attract attendees but also encourage engagement, sponsorships, and generous giving.
Pre-Event Planning
A fundraising event planner transforms your vision into reality through strategic event design that aligns with your cause. Every detail is meticulously planned to create a cohesive experience that enhances donor engagement. This includes curating top-tier vendors, selecting the right venue, and ensuring all elements contribute to the overall success of the event.
Day-of Event Management
On the day of the event, a professional planner ensures everything runs smoothly, allowing you to focus on your guests and fundraising efforts. This includes managing event setup to match your desired aesthetic, coordinating vendors to ensure seamless operations, and executing a precise timeline that keeps the event flowing efficiently. With an expert handling logistics, you can concentrate on building relationships with attendees and donors.
