“The creativity poured into Kimberly’s experiential events is unmatched! Ridiculously efficient is the phrase that comes to mind when I think of her events. I had the pleasure of working with Kimberly for two years at Anderson Humane, collaborating on several projects. I was particularly impressed by her ability to showcase Anderson Humane as a whole but yet showcase each and every aspect of what the organization is comprised of during the Pets-A-Palooza event and had the public buzzing with excitement. No matter how busy events made her, she always made sure each and every department felt they were represented well, as if Kimberly’s sole job was to make us all look wonderful, and she did.”

“Kimberly Gifford is the most talented and successful events specialist I've worked with - and I've worked with many! She plans every detail, considering those who work behind the scenes as well as those who will be impacted by the event. That impact, both from the insiders and the participants, leads to positive results through experience and financial gain. If you are ever lucky enough to attend one of her events, you will remember it forever.”
