Charity Events

In order to raise funds for the Rafa Nadal Foundation Center – the first Rafa Nadal Foundation own project -, on May 23rd 2015, we held the first International Gala in Paris.

Around 400 people joined us at this charity event, which took place at the Hotel InterContinental Paris Le Grand, and which was supported by the watchmaking company Richard Mille. Spanish ambassador in France, Ramón de Miguel; ATP President, Chris Kermode; French Tennis Federation President and Jean Gachassin, Roland-Garros President, where some of the authorities present. But also, personalities from the business world, such as Richard Mille and Tommy Hilfiger, along with representatives and guests from companies such as KIA, Telefónica, Banc Sabadell, Mapfre, Nike, Babolat…where invited.

The guests to the gala enjoyed a dinner signed by the Spaniards Juan Mari Arzak and Elena Arzak, and the French Christophe Raoux; prestigious chefs of international recognition who joined the best of their gastronomic creations to offer a unique and unrepeatable dinner.

Presented by the French sports journalists Lionel Chamoulaud and Nelson Monfort, the event began with the interpretation of the aria Nessun Dorma by the Spanish tenor Josep Bros. Once the dinner was over, the Spanish pop-rock singer Luz Casal – very much loved in France – gave a performance that included the interpretation of some of her most famous songs; thus concluding an exclusive evening full of solidarity.

From Komodo we conceptualized the project as well as led all the coordination and production of the different parts of the event, including of course the great scenographic and audiovisual technical work that was carried out.

Since 2014, Madrid Tennis Open celebrates each year its Charity Day. For the first time the event took place, we joined two of the most important Spanish sportsmen of our time, Rafa Nadal and Iker Casillas, great friends of Komodo, to create a fun and unique charity act in favour of their Foundations.

The event took place in the Manolo Santana Stadium of the Caja Mágica, where eight teams made up of tennis players, celebrities ,Casillas and Nadal played a tennis competition and a football-tennis competition in pairs. Presented by José Corbacho, the event was attended by a large number of well-known faces, including sportsmen and celebrities such as Serena Williams, Andy Murray, Carlos Moyá, Sergio Llul, Thibaut Courtois, Nieves Álvarez, Dani Rovira and Cristina Pedroche, among others.

A creative production led by Komodo, who took care of the conceptualization and staging of the project, as well as the hiring and relationship with the two foundations, their needs and other famous participants of the event.

On the occasion of the 20th Anniversary of the Real Madrid Foundation, we organized one of the most supportive and eagerly awaited concerts of the year: OT Bernabeu; which managed to bring together more than 60,000 people for a good cause and enjoy a great musical show.

The line up was composed by the Talent Show OT 2017 edition contestants, besides the exclusive participation of artists like Rapahel, Luis Fonsi, David Bustamante, PastoraSoler, Zaharaand many more…

Komodo set up a full time team dedicated to the conceptualization, graphic design, communication, production, logistics of the event as well as the coordination and strategic recruitment of the different sponsors, highlightimg Banco Santander, B the travel brand , Universidad Europea, Reale Seguros or Adidas. To this end, we worked on a series of specific contents for each brand, so they could achieve their audience and engagement needs (both online with ad hoc digital campaigns or face-to-face actions such as possible meet & greet with some artists).
