— About Rebecca Hollander, Founder

I am an experienced creator, connector, and world traveler, who brings over 22 years of experience in special events, marketing, community relations, and philanthropy. 

My team at Rebecca Hollander Events is dedicated to creating experiences that are elegant, engaging, and unforgettable. We work closely with our clients to ensure your brand shines and each guest remembers your event as the Greatest of All Time.

It all started with an elephant.

My passion for event planning started at Tulane University.  Always looking for a way to do good, deliver excitement, and stretch my creativity, I brought an elephant to the school's TGIF event, raising funds for the Audubon Zoo. The Dean approved the event application never thinking an elephant would really walk down McAlister Drive onto the Quad. After that, he read my applications more carefully!

After Tulane, I returned to Long Island, where I became the marketing director for the Americana Manhasset. In that role, I collaborated on events-centered marketing strategies with luxury brands such as Louis Vuitton, Gucci, Hermes, Ferragamo, Brooks Brothers, DIOR and Bottega Veneta. 

My talent for creating meaningful brand experiences in the luxury arena led me to starting the Americana Manhasset Concours D’Elegance, where I collaborated with Porsche, Ferrari, Maserati, and other brands. I also spearheaded Champions for Charity®, a multi-day philanthropy shopping event that has raised more than $13 million in charitable donations over the past 25 years.

— About Susan Gomberg, Vice President, Philanthropy

A born fundraiser, I began my career at age 8 by organizing Carnivals for Muscular Dystrophy in my neighborhood, followed by cause-marketing in areas as diverse as funding for education, farm workers and women's equality.

Professionally,  I bring over 20 years of non-profit professional and volunteer fundraising experience in healthcare, arts and education. As Director, Fundraising Campaigns and Volunteer Engagement for the Crohn' & Colitis Foundation, for the past 20+ years, I have raised over $20 MM through special events, individual giving and grant writing.

I am proud to have established the Foundation's first major gifts program and have played  a key role in strategic board development.

Prior to joining the CCF, I have both volunteer and professional experience in funding for arts education and currently assist PFLAG NYC in its fundraising for LGBTQ+ programs.    

“Rebecca has an incredible work ethic that reflects her personal commitment to each event she undertakes.

I have known Rebecca Hollander for close to 25 years. We have worked closely together during her tenure as the Marketing Director for the Americana Manhasset, producing high-end fundraising events. 

Many words come to mind that describe Rebecca: organized, experienced, detail-oriented, multitasker, excellence, and passion.  You've come to the right place if you want your event to exude elegance, and ensure that every aspect is thought of and accounted for. Rebecca will definitely help you plan your “greatest of all time event” to perfection!”
