JLD Associates
a division of Joseph Leigh Designs
Non-Profit Event Planning Services

Bear Necessities Pediatric Cancer Foundation, a not for profit organization based in Chicago, Illinois has had the great pleasure to work with JLD for the past 20 plus years. Planning and facilitating events is by no means an easy task for a small staff like ours. We contracted with JLD when we realized it was time to bring in professionals who could pull an event together beyond what we were able to do in house and save us unnecessary costs at the same time.
​
As a not for profit, it’s critical for us to be watchful of the dollars we spend, and JLD has always had our best interests at heart finding ways to present the best event and raise the much needed dollars for our cause at the same time. We have contracted JLD for the simplest of tasks to ultimately running our largest event.
​
Working with their team has always been a pleasant experience from start to finish. There is nothing better than walking into your event to find the tables and centerpieces looking spectacular, the silent auction being incredibly inviting and noticing all the final touches that make an event perfect, all in place. We would recommend JLD for any event you have on your calendar be it personal, corporate or not for profit. They truly put their heart and soul into the work they do and it shows in every way on event day.
