Rhode Island People’s Power & Light

Classic provides event management services for the Rhode Island non-profit that offers green energy and discount oil programs to Rhode Island residents.

On behalf of the Charles River Watershed Association (CRWA), the nation’s oldest and largest watershed association, Classic handles all aspects of event management for the annual Run of the Charles Canoe & Kayak Race. With 1,500-1,800 participants each year, the Run of the Charles is one of North America’s largest canoe/kayak events.  Classic manages all race registration, recruitment and coordination of the 100-125 volunteers, permitting, vendor contracts, marketing, publicity and promotion, and individual site management for 11 locations through seven towns along 24 miles of river. Classic also manages the race’s “Finish Line Festival” at a public park in Boston with booths and exhibits, food, music and awards ceremonies.

Earth Night

Classic coordinates and promotes Earth Night, Boston’s largest annual environmental fundraiser. Held for the benefit of the Environmental League of Massachusetts (ELM), Earth Night is ELM’s single biggest fundraiser with revenues generated through sponsorships, ticket sales, live and silent auctions and fees for participation in the event’s “Earth Fair,” an exposition created by Classic featuring a mix of interactive exhibits from an assortment of environmentally-oriented companies and organizations. In Classic’s first year managing Earth Night, attendance and profitability more than doubled from the previous year.

AltWheels

Classic has helped plan, develop and market AltWheels from its start as a public festival on alternative transportation and energy to a focused day-long seminar for fleet managers featuring diverse panel discussions on clean transportation and alternatives to fossil fuel vehicles. Classic helped coordinate the event’s move from the Larz Anderson Auto Museum in Brookline, Massachusetts to Boston City Hall Plaza where it attracted more than 50,000 visitors during each of its three years there. As the public became more aware of the country’s energy and climate crises, Classic played a key role in making AltWheels’ focus more specific, targeting fleet managers whose actions could have a significant impact on these crises.

New Energy for America

Held in Boston during the 2004 Democratic National Convention, New Energy for America featured a star-studded panel and attracted more than 600 attendees.
