Across multiple key moments—from the official groundbreaking of the Obama Presidential Center to donor gifting events—we supported the Obama Foundation with meaningful, branded merchandise. The goal: create tangible moments that honored donors, elevated their brand, and were delivered flawlessly under pressure.
The Foundation needed support bringing high-impact ideas to life—fast. For the groundbreaking event, they required OSHA-compliant hard hats and ceremonial shovels with custom branding. For ongoing donor engagement, they envisioned thoughtful gift kits and a custom-designed keepsake to reflect the Center’s mission and story.

We partnered with the Foundation across three major touchpoints:
Groundbreaking Ceremony:
Produced custom hard hats and ceremonial shovels on a tight turnaround, ensuring every item was event-ready and met compliance standards. The branded gear was front and center during the televised groundbreaking, including photos with President Obama.
Donor Summer Kits:
Sourced and produced several hundred branded kits for major donors, including full-wrap printed tote bags and embroidered caps. We handled all sourcing, branding, and fulfillment, ensuring timely delivery across the country.
Custom Event Gifts:
Collaborated with the Foundation to bring a meaningful concept to life—a limited-run set of sculptural cubes etched with a sketch of the new Center. Designed as a modular display piece, it was presented at an exclusive donor event in Chicago.

The branded pieces served as powerful, tangible touchpoints for the Foundation's story. The groundbreaking gear was captured in national media and event photography. The donor kits and custom gifts elevated the brand experience and deepened relationships at a critical time in the Center’s fundraising journey.
