Pop!'s role was central to the gala's inception, aligning with the foundation's launch. In close cooperation with the board and family, Pop! crafted a vision that resonated with their goals and ethos. This partnership extended to crafting sponsorship packages and setting ticket prices with the fundraising team, a strategy that not only ensured the event's financial viability but also contributed significantly to the foundation's charitable missions. The meticulous planning and management led by Pop! culminated in a remarkable achievement: selling out all 300 seats and raising over $400,000.00 for charity.

Furthermore, Pop! took the helm in the comprehensive orchestration of the event, coordinating closely with the venue and catering teams, securing a photographer, and managing aspects like ​staff, volunteers, décor, entertainment,​ technology, and the speaker lineup. The event boasted an impressive roster of speakers, including Congressman Brian Fitzpatrick, former Governor Mark Schweiker, and a special recorded address from President Biden and the First Lady, adding to the gala's prestige and success.
