The May 7 Tipping Point Benefit was a stellar success by all accounts—financial as well as social. Despite the economic downbeat, the upscale event was oversold—and funds raised were over-the-top. Daniel Lurie, Tipping Point Founder & President, acknowledged, “We were shooting for $2 million. We didn’t think we could get to $3, but we did!” Elixir is honored to have upped the pre-party buzz by designing the invitation. Daniel Lurie made us smile when he told us, “We had many people say it was the best invitation they’d ever received.” Lurie and the board fund 100% of operating expenses, so that every penny donated goes directly to one of the Bay Area charities vetted {and coached} by the Tipping Point. To learn more about what they do and how they do it, watch this.
