AIM Carnival: The Birth of the (New) Cool

Debut Event Raises $83,530 for AIM Services

SARATOGA SPRINGS – How can something so smokin’ hot be so cool at the same time? See below…

A triumph of good planning, good will, and of course – good fun coalesced on Saturday, April 2, at Vapor Night Club on the grounds of Saratoga Casino Hotel. AIM Services, Inc. launched Carnival – a dramatic debut to add to what promises to be a robust 2022 Saratoga gala schedule.

This was by no means a “one-off”: In announcing the incredible total of $83, 539 raised at this event, AIM Services also imparted that they had reserved Vapor for a Second Annual, on April 1, 2023!

The success of an event, especially a new one, often comes down to successfully navigating broad concepts like proper timing and a well-thought out theme. In the case of Carnival, the organizers also showed extremely keen judgment in identifying their guests’ collective needs – and then fulfilling them.

IMHO AIM was superior, on this night, in satisfying these collective desires among the attendees:

The desire to support a great cause,
The desire to give an emphatic middle-finger to all things COVID, and
The desire to party like we used to all the time!

That’s how something so smokin’ hot can be so cool all at once! This event was a complete sell-out, with capacity listed at 300 for this event, making the final total raised even more remarkable. While next year that limit might be increased somewhat, you are well-advised that when the bell rings to reserve for the 2023 Carnival – you leap all over it.
