JDRF Kansas City

The Dream Gala is consistently Kansas City’s biggest annual charity single-day event, bringing in around $2 million for the fight against Type 1 diabetes. Trozzolo’s JDRF team develops invitation materials and atmospheric design for each year’s event.

Our 2017 work, developed around the concept of “Accelerate,” won a Gold Nonprofit Connect “Philly” award, and our 2019 “Dream in Color” work was an AIGA winner.

Ronald McDonald House

Ronald McDonald House Charities of Kansas City provides a place to stay for families whose children are receiving treatment at local hospitals like Children’s Mercy. Their centerpiece of every annual fundraising appeal is a direct mail piece that tells one family’s story.

Alphapointe

Alphapointe is one of the nation’s leading nonprofits focused on helping people who are visually impaired. Their Boots & Pearls fundraiser attracts donors with a wine and whiskey tasting. Every winter, the event raises more money for the cause. For 2019, they asked for a more whimsical save the date and invite that would highlight new food offerings alongside the drinks.
