We're thrilled to be the production supplier chosen by POP.

The Best Event Produced for a High Profile Charitable Organization award was given to the 26th Annual Crystal Ball, which is hosted by Reach for the Rainbow each year in November.

Joanne stated, “working to bring the production elements together for the extremely talented producers at Golden involved great team work– just what you need in order to execute an extremely successful event.
