This communication gap had become alarming for the organization because of their intentions to expand their audiences from working professionals to the general public, especially the college students. Also through a situational analysis done by the researchers, it was discovered that an event would be the most effective way of disseminating information about the organization to the students of De La Salle University-Manila, specially a free benefit concert. Based on the literature, events as a public relations tools, has been considered as an effective tool for the last 3 decades. Events are guided by theories where in the process of events management is tackled and through theses theories presented by scholars, the researchers were able to create their own theory that was most fitting for the objective of the event. The researchers used methods such as, surveys and interviews to validate the finding of communication audit and situational analysis, and to aid in the planning process of the event.
