Creations by Christine Events founder Christine Figliuolo uses her planning skills to help those less fortunate W hen Christine Figliuolo started her wed- ding and special events planning com- pany in 1994, her goal was to provide clients with superior, stress-free service. Now, 20 years and hundreds of weddings and social events later, Christine is parlaying her planning skills into events that give back to Bergen County communities. As past president of the Waldwick Chamber of Commerce, an active Bergen County resident, and a successful entrepreneur, Christine has put together events to raise money for local causes in need of funding and exposure. In 2007, she orga- nized the first Waldwick 5K Run, an event that has grown from a few dozen participants to over 800 runners from around the state. The funds raised have been donated to local town/school organiza- tions and heart-related charities. Christine has also volunteered her time to coor- Christine Figliuolo dinate the “Behind the Seams” fashion show for Eva’s Village, a non-profit organization that helps feed and shelter the homeless. Since its inception, Behind the Seams has grown tremendously. It is now a tented high-end show that attracts over 300 guests. Behind the Seams will be celebrating its fifth year this May, and the CBC Event team will be there once again to assist in producing this ben- efit. Recently, Christine and a team of volunteers organized the first Disco Dance Charity event to raise awareness and funds for Shelter Our Sisters, the not-for-profit domestic vio- lence prevention organization based in Hackensack. Over 300 guests attended and $3,500 was donated to SOS. The second annual event is scheduled for Oct. 10. Christine has leveraged her planning skills and enlists her service providers to coor- dinate special events. This winning combination is the key to her success. She not only personifies the entrepreneurial spirit so evident in the women of Bergen County, but her willingness to pay it forward will hopefully inspire others to do the same.
