PepsiCo and the United Spinal Association combined their efforts to offer a fun-filled day of sports activities for children with disabilities. PepsiCo enAble hosted the “Kids Sports Spectacular” event at Pepsi’s World Headquarters in Purchase, NY. The event promotes inclusion and focuses on an individual’s abilities rather than their disabilities.

Enhance a Colour teamed up with TruEvents to provide a Halloween themed fabric banner. TruEvents donated the artwork and Enhance a Colour donated the fabric and printing. The banner, used as a setting for photos taken during the event, was a 240″ wide x 96″ high dye-sub printed fabric backdrop.

The representatives from PepsiCo enAble were very pleased and grateful for our donation. The event was a hit with the children!

Columbus Day Gala at the Waldorf Astoria Hotel in NYC

Columbus Citizens Foundation Gala DinnerColumbus Citizens Foundation Gala Dinner at the Waldorf Astoria Hotel

In celebration of Columbus Day, the Columbus Citizens Foundation hosted a black-tie Gala Dinner on the evening of Saturday, October 8, 2011. A tradition since 1944, the foundation members and their guests meet in the Waldorf Astoria Grand Ballroom for an evening of friendship and entertainment celebrating the relationship between Italy and the United States while raising funds for scholarships.

Eating, dancing and live entertainment are only part of the evening. They also celebrate a few special individuals who are leaders in their community. Three men were honored this year including the parade’s Grand Marshall Joseph Plumeri, along with Robert La Penta and Stephen Squeri.

Enhance a Colour created 6 different dye-sublimation printed backdrops for this event. Three banners and stands, one for each honoree, highlighting their individual achievements were created and displayed in the lobby of the hotel. For the stage backdrop in the Grand Ballroom, a 28 feet wide by 20 feet tall backdrop was created featuring the Grand Marshall. The backdrop was flanked by two 4 feet wide banners featuring Stephen Squeri and Robert La Penta.

Enhance a Colour has come up with a new product producing graphics for the use of flooring called Printable Dance Floor/Marley. For special events, traveling shows, and even permanent installation, EACGS offers a durable yet vibrant product that allows for easy installation and portability. This new innovative product is offered in sizes up to 58 inches wide by 30-40 foot lengths and is coated with a textured/grit lamination to help prevent people from slipping. In addition, it is also fire rated. This product can be used on dance floors, theatrical show decks, flooring for mobile events and even entrance ways. This fabrication is a great new way to Enhance your flooring for your next event.

Examples of this product being used are:

Budweiser Dance Troop
Enhance a Colour produced a 14 foot circular soccer mat printed in three panels using four-color process inks with a UV floor lamination for protection for the Futbol Kings. Budweiser’s breathtaking freestyle futbol display has been captivating audiences across the nation since the start of last year’s World Cup.

The industry’s signature event recognizes the best of the best in experiential marketing campaigns. Sponsored by Anheuser-Busch InBev, Futbol Kings consisted of appearances at retail accounts and high traffic locations touching upon two Hispanic passion points: soccer and music. With the support of a branded Budweiser Futbol Kings tour bus and soccer mat, a select team of freestyle soccer experts (wearing branded uniforms) and drummers did what they do best: dribble soccer balls to Brazilian beats.

Man and Boy – Hudson Scenic
Enhance a Colour worked with Hudson Scenic Studios to create linoleum flooring for the show ‘Man and Boy’. Instead of repainting a pattern grid layout that could take up to 2-3 weeks to produce, EACGS digitally re-drew the files to create the pattern and then added the effect of making the floor look like linoleum but also giving it a textured look. We then broke it into horizontal panels so it could look seamless on the show deck. After it was produced, Hudson applied their theatrical effects of making the material look aged and easily installed it onto the deck. Once installed, everyone was very happy with the end result. The project was completed within 8 business days from design, proofing and production. The overall size was 35’6″ W x 22’6″ H for the first panel and 14’9″ W x 12’3″ H for the second panel.
