Evening for Hope:

The Production

Setting an all time record for net proceeds, Big Picture, Inc. (BPI) produced the DC area's premiere non-profit live event, the annual “Evening of Hope” Gala for The Children’s Inn at NIH for the 5th consecutive year.

The evening was a resounding and record success, resulting in a repeated fundraising level in excess of a million dollars in corporate and private contributions to benefit The Inn. Every year that BPI has produced the evening event has resulted in revenue generation and donations exceeding 7 figures.

Featuring 5 giant video walls, multiple cameras, and over 20,000 lbs. of lighting and audio gear “flown” above the key corporate and government attendees, the look and feel of the show has been driving the ever growing success of the program.

"I've chaired The Children's Inn at NIH's annual gala since 2015, where I've watched Big Picture transform the production quality of the event. They go well above and beyond, improving not just the look and feel of the event, but the quality of the content and the impact on all who attend. Their depth of experience is invaluable. An Evening for Hope is now a premier, annual event in DC area that has nearly doubled in dollars raised each year, thanks largely to Big Picture's commitment, dedication, and professionalism.”
