In case you didn't know, today is #givingtuesday! In case you didn't know, today is #givingtuesday! 🧡

At Local Revival, giving back and assisting those in need within our communities is an essential part of our business model. 

And as a board member for Empower Her Network (EHN), I've seen how a non-profit's support network can make a difference in people's lives. 

EHN is the only national program that ends generational cycles of violence, exploitation, and poverty of trafficking survivors by paving a path to economic freedom. 

After being on the board for over three years, I can confidently say - the program works. Why? 

✅ 100% of survivors graduate with stable housing

✅ The average annual wage at the start of the program was $18,015 BELOW the poverty line

✅ The average annual wage after they finish the program is $26,807 ABOVE the poverty line

✅ These results are often only the beginning. Many graduate as they complete a program with a promising career path

✅ 100% of donations go to programming because the NOVO Foundation covers operating expenses

This #givingtuesday, please consider donating to Empower Her Network and give the greatest gift of all: opportunity. 🧡

As a bonus, @the_changereaction has agreed to MATCH all donations up to $25,000! So when you give, your matched contribution allows us to reach our end-of-the-year goal faster - helping more survivors carve their path to fiscal independence! 🎉

Scan the QR code, or visit empowerhernetwork.org/donate for more information or to give to this impactful cause! 

xoxo, Summer
We are SO incredibly grateful for YOU this Thanksg We are SO incredibly grateful for YOU this Thanksgiving! 🦃🍁

Thank you to new friends and old, amazing new clients and previous ones - all the meaningful connections we've been fortunate to develop this year, making our already fun job that much more amazing! ✨

We hope you all have a joyous and safe Thanksgiving holiday! ❤️
Happy Monday, friends! 👏🏼 What are you dete Happy Monday, friends! 👏🏼

What are you determined to get done this week? How do you push through when you’re just not feeling motivated? 🤔

The weather cooking off in Florida a little keeps me motivated to chug along. If I feel like I’ve hit a rut, usually taking a quick walk to clear my head will do the trick 💪🏽

What about you? Comment below ⬇️ 

Here’s to a fantastic week! 👏🏼🎉
What tropical storm? Not even tropical storm Nico What tropical storm?

Not even tropical storm Nicole could keep us from helping the @sustanyfoundation with the 2022 Sustainable Business Awards and Buzz last evening 🎉

We appreciate everyone who attended, and the volunteers who helped us with all the details. 👏🏼

We also want to give a HUGE shout out to our new friends with @lynnscateringoftampa who stepped in to provide the delicious taste of Tampa to feed all the guests, and were able to provide two extra bartenders in a pinch ❤️

Thank you to all the other vendors who donated product or services for this event:

Native Plants: @butterfly_tampa 
Antique Furniture for VIP: @the.col.lec.tive 
Linens: @fancythatlinens 
Beer: @3daughtersbrewing 
Wine: @johnsonbrothersoffl 
Planning/Coordination: @localrevivalinc 

Can’t wait to see all the professional photos and footage from @pricelessstudiodesign (which I know will be SO much better than these 😊)

The @sustanyfoundation does some amazing things to educate and highlight sustainable businesses in Tampa Bay. The proceeds that were raised from this event are used to plant new trees in the area 👏🏼🌲🌴 To learn more about them or to donate or get involved, follow their social media pages or visit their website at Sustany.org. 🌿
At Local Revival, we love events of every size. Fr At Local Revival, we love events of every size. From dinner parties to large bashes, we aren't afraid to take on a client's to-do list so they can relax and fully immerse themselves during their important day. 💪🏽

One of our highlights every year is helping non-profit clients with their annual fundraising galas. ✨

In October, we had the pleasure of designing and coordinating Rock the Dock, a celebration of artists and music that rocks - all while benefitting Chapters Health Foundation's Hospice division. 💃🏻🕺🏻

Held in downtown Tampa on the Riverwalk, it's a stunning backdrop for music, dancing, and raising money to support their mission: to provide choices, education, and guidance for those affected by advancing age or illness. 💕

Colorful bright red and blue linens topped with centerpieces featuring a neon LED light of different musical instruments were the focus within the main event area. While in the pre-event function showcased custom records printed with printed lyrics and lifesized cutouts of famous musicians. 🎼🎤

It was a beautiful evening full of rock n roll while benefitting an incredible cause in Tampa Bay. 💛

Do you know a local non-profit that might need assistance with its gala planning? Tell them to contact us! 📞👏🏼
