Looking for a way to combine an informational piece and a donor recognition wall into one display at the Wickiup Hill Outdoor Learning Center, Presentations integrated proximity switch lighting, translucent prints, 42″ digital touchscreen and Google maps all into one fun, engaging donor wall.
Located within the main entrance, every visitor to the Center is immediately struck by the engaging donor display. A little of bit of something for everyone, visitors can locate the different outdoor facilities by using the Google Maps interface or find out upcoming events through the Google Calendar interface.
When visitors engage the proximity slider by moving it to the different giving levels, the dragonfly light trail spins down the graphic panel and lands on the touchscreen to display the specific donor list. Visually stunning graphics and colors combine with the translucent donor panels to celebrate individual donors and shine with the use of LED lighting. Oak trim was custom stained to match the rest of the facilities woodwork and CNC cut to protect the graphic panels.
Layering of the panels and three dimensional dragonflies finish off the spectacular donor wall and complete the all inclusive donor recognition display wall.

Creating a new and inspiring donor recognition wall was priority for the Texas Lions Camp located in Kerrville, Texas. This amazing outdoor learning center provides the “Can Do” philosophy and improve self esteem for children with physical disabilities, Type 1 diabetes, and cancer. Because of the support from donors and volunteers TLC has been providing camping experiences at no charge, since 1949.
After making a connection with Presentations at the AFP Trade Show in Vancouver, TLC commissioned Presentations to concept, build, and install a donor wall. Initial brainstorming identified this donor display needed to be flexible, easily and cost effective to update, include a digital component, showcase the TLC story and inspire involvement.

An interactive section of the donor wall includes a touch screen digital display within the grid system to recognize lower level donors and invites guests to learn about activities, events and more. The digital component was a great solution to easily manage and recognize the other 23,846 donors which before couldn’t be effectively acknowledged. Developing a custom web based donor layout listing software was a key component because the 23,846 names is such a huge number to handle. Now the digital donor display allows any TLC staff member wireless access for updates on the fly keeping the display current and making updates a very easy and efficient task.

“TLC’s Board of Directors LOVE IT, a flawless execution of our plan was delivered by Presentations, and I cannot be more thrilled with our donor recognition wall”, said Stephen S. Mabry, CEO Texas Lions Camp.
Presentations is proud to have delivered a donor wall that truly speaks for TLC and that will inspire giving to continue for years to come.

order to better position the Food Bank to meet the increasing need for years to come, NIFB launched a Capital Campaign “We are running out of space, but not out of hungry people” to build a new Food Distribution and Community Nutrition Center. The campaign was a success and The Food Bank opened the doors of their new facility.
To recognize and thank the donors for their support, the Food Bank wanted a unique donor wall that fit the new open space of the lobby. The challenge was designing something that spoke to the food bank and their campaign, but fit the space. The creative process went from a logo wall using actual food cans to, a display of food cans, but the final design was geometric formation of cylinders to represent cans.
To also add a sense of impact, images and quotes were incorporated into the layout. The final design identifies four levels of giving, relates to the food bank, adds shape, color and reflection to the space.
The curved tin was also designed into the facilities wayfinding and room naming opportunities for donors to be recognized on.
A touch screen kiosk was developed for the lobby which displays informational content about the food bank and is also an educational component about features of the building.
The result was a one-of-a-kind look and design the Food Bank was proud to showcase and share with the community it serves.
