At TapSnap, we participate in a wide range of events - over 10,000 events per year! From intimate weddings with the bride, groom, and their closest friends and family, to large multi-day corporate events with hundreds, or even thousands of guests in attendance. Big or small, we've seen them all.

One event type that is particularly rewarding for us, are those events that are not only fun, but that give back to an important cause.
At the end of July, Tammy Lonergan of TapSnap 1188, had the pleasure of bringing the TapSnap photo booth experience to the annual Jeffrey Osborne Celebrity Classic event - a multi-day event hosted by and held at the Foxwoods Resort Casino located in Mashantucket, CT, with a focus on raising funds for non-profit organizations that provide music and the arts to children and their families, and those organizations that provide a safe-haven for families in need.
We asked Tammy of TapSnap 1188 to give us the inside scoop on how the event went down.
The primary mission of the Jeffrey Osborne Celebrity Classic is to benefit non-profit organizations who support a continued push for music and the arts to children and their families, as well as those who provide a safe-haven for families in need. The Classic also provides music and art-based scholarships, and a humanitarian award to deserving individuals and organizations.
In his efforts to support these deserving organizations, Jeffrey Osborne has engaged some of the most successful names in the entertainment and sports industries for this 7th Annual Jeffrey Osborne Celebrity Classic event.

Our clients, Terrell Osborne and Jeffrey Osborne, said they loved our energy and excitement with the guests. They treated us as an extension of their family - they were very warm, welcoming and kind. Genuinely appreciative and complimentary of our TapSnap services.
Q: Why you think TapSnap is such a great addition to charity events such as this one?
Besides increasing the fun entertainment factor at charity events, the sharing of branded photos on social media increases awareness for the cause which, ultimately, benefits the organization. The hope is to increase support from the community. It is a winning combination - the fun factor combined with brand awareness and reach! TapSnap is a great way to capture special memories and share them, and there were definitely a lot of memories made that night.
