Listen to Our BlogsAllies 1st Annual Partners in Crime Event- A Fun Night for a Great Cause!
16th Sep, 2024
Without a doubt, our first annual Partners in Crime event was a resounding success. The evening brought together 80 of our favorite commercial real estate partners and clients at Half Liter BBQ Hall for a night of trivia, networking, and philanthropy.
The night kicked off with laughter as attendees, dressed in their most creative “Partner in Crime” costumes, arrived, ready to enjoy the night. The atmosphere was filled with excitement, featuring plenty of mingling, delicious food, and fun photo opportunities.
Before trivia began, Adam Stephenson, our Owner & Managing Director, took the stage to share the significance of the event for Allies Commercial Realty. It is truly incredible to see the growth of our company and the friendships we have created along the way. Thanks to our six amazing sponsors, we raised a total of $5,400 for Cocktails & Caregivers – a cause dear to many as they support the families caring for loved ones, a job that is intense and most times not rewarded.

The trivia, led by trivia master, Eddie from Half Liter BBQ, was a highlight of the evening. Our Partners in Crime grouped into teams of eight players and tackled a series of challenging questions. The trivia winners were from Stock Yards Bank & Trust, dressed as “Royal Pairs,” with their team led by Emily Biehn. In second place was the “Barbie & Ken” crew from F5 & Associates, led by Jane Folds. Jane is the go-to for office furniture makeovers – learn more about F5 & Associates here. In third place was “Charlie’s Angels” from V3 Companies, led by Michelle Jarvis.

The Best Partner in Crime costume award went to the duo dressed as Mia and Vincent from Pulp Fiction, who not only looked the part but also showed off some impressive dance moves.

As the evening wound down, the focus shifted to creating new connections and discussing future partnerships. It was great to see so many industry professionals engage and explore potential collaborations.
As we packed up, we could say that our first Partners in Crime event was a blast and a testament to our amazing partnerships. At Allies, we don’t work every day, we have fun every day!
From our commercial real estate brokerage team to our partners, to our clients, what a great joy to be able to bring everyone together. Thank you all for trusting us in this partnership.
