Evening of Hope at Easton Town Center

For the sixth year, ZenGenius had the pleasure of assisting Nationwide Children’s Hospital Foundation in producing “Evening of Hope” benefiting the Center for Child and Family Advocacy at Nationwide Children’s Hospital.

The Center for Child and Family Advocacy (CCFA) is a unique and first-of-it’s-kind organization that is serving as a National model. CCFA serves kids and families that have experienced sexual abuse. CCFA is a one-stop-shop for treatment, counseling, investigation and prosecution of sexual and violent crimes against children. It's the first, but CCFA partners everyday with organizations around the country to set up similar programs. It's truly a jewel in Columbus's crown. We are honored to support their critical works!

“Evening of Hope” is held at Bon Vie at Easton Town Center. We work with S&G Tent Rental to install a one-of-a-kind 3,000 sq. ft. modular tent on the patio and street in front of the restaurant. LIVE! Technologies provides A/V services and excellent sound for the band. This year, we were entertained by the body-moving sounds of Conspiracy, who truly rocked the house (tent)!

Guests dined on awesome nibbles from Bon Vie, including a beautiful raw bar by Paul Ahrens of Precise Ice. Please stay tuned for another update with pictures from the event. Again, we would like to thank everyone that makes this evening such a rousing success including event co-chairs, Rachel and Scott Friedman, Brooke and Brendan O’Neill, and Sarah Windels Ziegler. Without their efforts to promote the event, “Evening of Hope” would not be such a hit!

“Evening of Hope” is produced in conjunction with Abigail and Leslie Wexner with the generous support of Premier Sponsor Grange Insurance and Presenting Sponsors Easton Community Foundation and Bravo Development, Inc. With the support of Time Warner Cable.
