British Bash with Andrew Ridgeley
“As a small team, having YEP’s support gave us the bandwidth to focus on other critical areas of the organization, knowing the event was in the best possible hands. Their expertise in fundraising, sponsorship, and event production helped us deliver our most successful Bash to date—both financially and experientially.”
— Joshua Mandelbaum, Executive Director, St. George’s Society of New York
The British Bash is one of St. George’s Society of New York’s (SGSNY) most important fundraisers, celebrating the “Best of British” while raising critical funds for the organization’s charitable programs. In 2024, YEP proudly partnered with SGSNY to deliver a record-breaking gala—the most successful and impactful in the event’s history.
Held at Edison Ballroom in Times Square and headlined by Andrew Ridgeley of WHAM!, the evening blended nostalgia, entertainment, and purpose to create an unforgettable experience for guests.
We had a fantastic time working alongside the passionate and dedicated SGSNY team and as a licensed fundraiser in New York State, YEP supported SGSNY across every aspect of planning and delivery:
Led fundraising strategy and advising
Secured key sponsorships and high-value auction items
Produced and managed all event logistics
Negotiated venue and vendor contracts
Secured and coordinated celebrity honoree Andrew Ridgeley
Managed all vendors, from AV to catering
Provided marketing support to boost awareness and ticket sales
Our partnership enabled the SGSNY team to stay focused on mission-critical work and year-end priorities, knowing the event was being seamlessly managed with care and precision.
The result? A record fundraising total, strong engagement from both new and long-time supporters, and a night to remember.
