Project Description

Nonprofit event design starts with what guests need to know before they arrive, how they’ll find their way on site, and how sponsors and contributors will be recognized. For the Juneteenth 2026 Beach Gospel Brunch, presented by Friends of NJ Legacy Foundation, Inc., Remeoner designed 20 distinct banners and the promotional, print, and wayfinding materials that carried A Salute to Our Ancestors from the first announcement to the event grounds.

What Remeoner designed

20 distinct banner designs

A separate large-format seating chart and illustrated grounds map helped guests find their assigned areas.

Promotion & admission

Guest signage & wayfinding

Sponsor & community recognition

The Ancestors Banner

Members of Friends of NJ Legacy Foundation, Inc. submitted the names of ancestors they wanted to honor. We set those names around a raised fist and alongside portraits to create the large-format We Salute Our Ancestors banner. At the center of the event grounds, the banner brought the submitted names together in one shared tribute.

From the flyer to the day of the event

The Save the Date flyer introduced the Beach Gospel Brunch with a ship diagram, broken chains, and the words “A Salute to Our Ancestors.” The event program put the day’s schedule in one place. The towel artwork carried the words “Keep Your Eyes on the Prize” and “Hold On” onto commemorative towels shown here in red, green, and gold.
