Crossroads Air Show
For the first time in over a decade, the U.S. Navy Blue Angels performed in Indianapolis for the Crossroads Air Show in 2023. In the months leading up to the show I was involved in creating and producing many marketing pieces and event collateral. During the show I captured photos and videos of the event’s breathtaking performances and displays.

Something to Remember
An event program to remember the show is something attendees look forward to, and enthusiasts collect. I created our 60-page program to be sold at the show, containing spreads that showed off our performers, ads promoting our organization, and a specially designed tear-out page for kids to make their own paper jet.
Logistic Support
This event was supported by hundreds of Scouting volunteers who were shuttled to the airfield each day that were all given commemorative neckerchiefs I created. I led a team of these volunteers in placing all of the way-finding and sponsorship recognition signage throughout the event. I also worked with our staff to create parking passes and security badges that communicated important details to volunteers working the event.
Fund Raising
Securing sponsors for the show was an enormous task for our development team. My role was to create documents and resources to utilize during their prospecting. This found its largest success with the sponsorship proposal that secured $100,000 for event’s title sponsorship.
