Valerie Vogt is contracted by Imagine LA in fundraising and events management. In this role, she collaborates cross-functionally to coordinate, manage, and execute various events throughout the year, including our quarterly signature family fun events and bimonthly Grab & Go Supplies Distributions, for our families, alumni, mentors, Board members, and volunteers. Valerie also plans and produces our annual Imagine Ball, an intimate charity concert that has raised over $1,000,000 to date. 

Valerie joined imagine LA in 2017, driven by a passion for bringing people and ideas together that serve others in the community. Having grown up in a very small Texas/Mexico border town, being involved in the community and giving back were engrained in Valerie from an early age. 

Valerie graduated from Texas State University in 2007 with a double major in Mass Communications and Spanish. Before joining Imagine LA, Valerie worked as a Chief of Staff for Serena Williams, COMMON, and Shaun White. It was during these years that she leveraged her skills, alliances and expertise that led her to open her own boutique event planning agency, The VLV Group, in 2015. Her events have been featured in Vogue, Vanity Fair, Architectural Digest, Entertainment Tonight, People Magazine, and US Weekly. 

In her spare time Valerie enjoys traveling, spending time with friends and family, being outdoors, staying active, karaoke, and playing with her dogs.
