About Our Business
CESA was formed by DWI owner Dennis Gleason in 2003.  After thousands of hours of
volunteering in the Portland Oregon communities and serving on a board of directors, he
realized that the under developed part of fund raising is in the events, not the volunteering.

Built and maintained by all the principals that he believes in, CESA is operated with full
participation of the owner at all events.  Partially because as of the beginning of 2004, we were
begin formed and he runs many of the operations himself.  Volunteers and interns actually help
CESA successful.  Volunteers for the benefiting organization assist in the organization and
collection of needed resources for each event.  

What sets CESA apart from any other event services company, besides focusing only events
that benefit at least 5% of the gross revenue to at least one non-profit, CESA actually creates
and owns the rights to several event concepts.  This allows us to generate income regardless
of participation of non-profits and make money on concepts that others wish to implement.
