Overview
The Global Lyme Alliance Gala is one of the organization’s signature annual fundraising events, bringing together philanthropic leaders, medical experts, celebrities, and supporters to advance research, education, and treatment for Lyme disease. Through compelling storytelling and world-class entertainment, the gala raises critical funds and awareness in support of Global Lyme Alliance’s mission.
Orion’s partnership with Global Lyme Alliance began during the pandemic, when Marc Johnston and Erich Bergen produced a series of virtual fundraising galas. The collaboration continued as the gala returned to Cipriani, with Orion serving as Executive Producer and helping shape the creative vision, fundraising program, and live entertainment.
Orion’s Role
Working in partnership with Erich Bergen and closely with Global Lyme Alliance leadership, Orion led the creative and entertainment production for the gala. From concept development and fundraising integration to artist programming, filmed content and live show execution, the team created an evening that combined powerful storytelling with world-class entertainment in support of the organization’s mission.
