ABOUT JUST CAUSES MN, LLC

My name is James and I have been in the event world since 2003! My primary focus is event planning and management, but I do consider myself a "James" of all trades. I have learned a lot about events over the past 18+ years and I've been lucky enough to work with some great clients, friends and mentors to get me to where I am today.

My primary work is with Stagetime Productions and I've learned the most about events from the owner, Shannon Pierce. Through Stagetime, I have worked on hundreds of events over the years, including some of my favorites: Super Bowl Live in 2018, the Walk To End Hunger (annually) and the Food Justice Summit (bi-annual). There just isn't enough room to list all my favorites.

The biggest influence on events for me has been the non-profit world itself. Most of Stagetime's clients are non-profits and it is an amazing gift to be able to work with them and help bring them to the next level with their events. That is actually what inspired my company name - Just Causes - because every organization I've ever worked with and will work with - is a just cause, especially in the non-profit world!

If you are looking to have a consultation on an event planning project - feel free to message me through Facebook or send me an email at james@justcausesmn.com.

Thank you - and welcome to Just Causes Minnesota, LLC!

As event coordinator of several gala/silent auctions for The Dwelling Place, I can verify the benefit of having the guidance and support of James Gottfried and his team to provide an excellent silent auction experience! James knows his craft and provides all of the extra touches that make a silent auction enjoyable for guests and profitable for the Event Host. I highly recommend James and his team and am glad for his continued partnership to provide excellent events in the future for The Dwelling Place!
