“This was an outstanding event for the Fort,” said Richard Nagele, Executive Director of the Fort Adams Trust. “Gray Matter Marketing orchestrated an event that the participants truly enjoyed and that was managed flawlessly. Also importantly, the event generated a substantially larger donation than was promised. Matt Gray under-promised and over-delivered.”
