A CASE STUDY OF SUCCESS

READ ABOUT THE GIFT OF LIFE SUCCESS STORY

Great stuff people are sayin' about us!

Jane Baer , SVP Market Development & Signature Events , V Foundation for Cancer Research

When the V Foundation for Cancer Research needed to reimagine the ESPYS Celebrity Golf Classic, we contracted Bob Levey as our golf consultant. It was the best decision we made! Bob has a passion for golf and expert knowledge in event production and golf course coordination. 


He is well respected by celebrities to vendors and volunteers.  Bob will go to the ends of the earth to support his client and is hands-on to ensure success.  Bob is as dedicated as he is enjoyable and we wouldn’t want to plan the tournament without him.

Greg Craig, Chairman, Junior Achievement of Southern California Golf Classic

 "If there were more Bob Leveys in this world, it would spin much more smoothly. I can easily give Bob and IEM my highest recommendation, without qualification. Not only is he a real pro and highly effective in each step of coordinating and pulling off an event, he brings calm, joy, and positive energy to every interaction.


I say this all the time: 'Bob is the BEST...no one comes close.' That sums it up!" 

Wendy Lethin, Director, Semper Fi and America's Fund

Mark Litman, Chairman, Galpin Motors Golf Classic benefitting The Heart Foundation

  "Mr. Levey and IEM Golf have been outstanding in the coordination and execution of the annual Rob Riggle InVETational to benefit The Semper Fi & America's Fund.  Bob understands the importance of raising funds for a critical mission and takes the utmost time and effort to make sure everything, from the smallest detail to the overall event, is taken care of and well-managed.  


His passion, professionalism, and pride have been instrumental in the success of our charity​ golf tournament. Bob gets it -- and he makes it fun!" 

Mark Litman, Chairman, Galpin Motors Golf Classic benefitting The Heart Foundation

“It is an absolute pleasure working with you on this event year after year. The tournament runs so smoothly, and I know it is a direct result of all the time you put into the planning.


 Your skills and dedication are integral to the tournament’s success, and your efforts have us to gain the reputation of having one of (if not the most) fun, unique and successful tournaments in the area." 

Scott Miller, Head Golf Professional, North Ranch Country Club

"If you want your tournament to run without a hitch, hire Bob Levey and his team at IEM.  His organization skills are impeccable, nothing slips through the cracks.  


As a PGA Professional and knowing what all goes into running a successful golf tournament Bob continues to knock it out of the park! "

Judy Elias, Founder & President, Heroes to Heroes Foundation

"We thought all was lost with Heroes to Heroes Foundation fundraising in 2020. Many of our donors' businesses were in danger. Without Bob Levey and his team at IEM, we would have lost a major opportunity to fund Heroes to Heroes. 


Bob and his team created a Covid-safe environment that allowed us to hold our golf tournament fundraiser in Los Angeles without fear. He kept everyone calm, pushed forward and adapted to many ongoing health department changes.  Our guests felt safe, taken care of, had a fun day away from the stresses of Covid and most importantly, raised much-needed funds. Bob thought of everything and made the day run smoothly. 


We would not have been able to run the tournament without Independent Events & Media. We look forward to working with IEM for many years to come."

Les McCabe, CEO, Junior Achievement of Southern California

"When looking back on where we were with initial planning for this tournament, to when Covid-19 first hit, followed by all of the subsequent decisions that had to be made (on an ongoing basis), it is truly remarkable that our 25th JASoCal Anniversary tournament had such tremendous success thanks in part to your never-give-up attitude and flexibility. I think our tournament sets the “Gold Standard” for how to successfully plan and run a charity Golf tournament in the face of a crisis the magnitude of Covid-19.    


Bob and Marisa, kudos and a BIG THANKS to both of you for your tireless work, perseverance in the face of challenges on multiple levels, and most importantly your dedication to the cause... supporting our mission here at JASoCal."

Paul McGunnigle, CEO, Howard Building Corporation; Board of Directors, JASoCal

"Even though I am a member of two wonderful county clubs, the majority of the golf that I play is in support of charity events.  The difference in the quality of the tournaments that are managed by Bob Levey/Independent Events & Media is noticeable and the quality of the tournament improves year over year because of Bob’s effort, skill and the depth of experience and contacts he possesses. 

I support numerous tournaments each year, and one of the deciding factors for me is whether Bob is organizing the event." 


Ron J. Silverman, Founder & President, Matthew Silverman Memorial Foundation

Ron J. Silverman, Founder & President, Matthew Silverman Memorial Foundation

It has been my great pleasure to know Bob over the past four years as our Golf Tournament Director. In my experience, Bob is dependable, hard working and honest.


I have worked with many event planners over the past few decades, and Bob stands head and shoulders over most, not only in demonstrated initiative, intelligence and creativity, but also in his ability to function as a productive member of a team. 

More great stuff....

Tori Shuken, President, The Vista Automotive Family & Co-chair Steve Shuken Memorial Golf Classic

“Planning a tournament can be an overwhelming task—I will not do it again without Bob Levey- every aspect of our event was well thought out and executed to perfection!
We received an overwhelming amount of positive input from our sponsors and golfers directly related to Bob’s efforts. He is extremely professional, pleasant and reliable.” 

Jennifer Sills, Founder & President of CSNK2A1 Foundation

We are so grateful for Bob and his IEM team.  They are experts in the field and it shows.  We held our first charity golf tournament in 2019 and it went off without a hitch. The IEM team prepared us for everything.  From our first meeting, Bob was prepared, thoughtful and invested.  At our golf committee meetings, he added great insight and suggestions for our committee to consider. We received tons of positive feedback from our tournament.  Our guests raved about the event from the time they checked in to the time they departed.  Golfers asked at the end of the round when the next event was.  Their enthusiasm for the event was a testament to how dedicated Bob and his team are to helping their clients host A+ events.  Bob showed us how to make an amazing golfing experience for our guests.  We surpassed our fundraising goals and we believe that Bob and the IEM team helped us achieve our goal.  We are looking forward to our next event with Bob and the IEM team.

Jan Stein, CEO, St. Vincent Medical Center Foundation

“From day one I knew that we were in good hands when we hired IEM to handle our tournament. Your attention to detail and keen insight into all the ins and outs of a tournament were just the right ingredients we needed for success. 


Bob, you are a pleasure to work with and I know we all recognized your professionalism, expert counsel, responsiveness and commitment.”

I have had the pleasure to volunteer for IEM many times over the past several years and have nothing but great things to say about Bob Levey and his staff. If you are as fortunate as I have been to have had the opportunity to get to know Bob it is clear that he is a genuine person with a passion to help the less fortunate.


After each and every tournament I leave the venue having had a day filled with fun, laughter and a complete feeling of accomplishment knowing we are helping such great causes.


I highly recommend Independent Events & Media if you ever consider organizing a charitable fundraising golf event.

“I have been volunteering for Bob Levey and IEM for more than four years.  Each event is well run and we have lots of fun.


Bob's events benefit a wide variety of charities.  2020 was a very challenging year with all of the COVID restrictions.  IEM organzied each event to comply with all of the mandates and ended up with a very positive result.  I felt very safe at all of the events I worked!
