As Executive Director of CrossRoads Corporation, I had the pleasure of working with Denica Harrell as lead planner for our signature fundraising gala. She managed every facet of the event—from securing sponsorships and the highest number of day-of donors in three years, to orchestrating logistics with precision. Under her leadership, we surpassed our fundraising goal by 16% and delivered a seamless guest experience. Denica’s professionalism, creativity, and calm presence under pressure made her an invaluable partner, and I recommend her without reservation.
