About Us

The DJS Events Team all share the same hands-on approach when it comes to giving back to the communities that are important to us. Our company was built upon the preface of charity, and we all see ourselves as part of a larger picture that includes helping others and making a difference in their lives.

As owner and president of DJS, Dawn Strain exemplifies the company's commitment. The result is world-class parties with a purpose. As president of DJS Events and the Long Island Elite networking group, Dawn Strain has coupled her event planning expertise and networking savvy to create one of the most prominent events of the year: The Masquerade Ball at Oheka Castle, the proceeds of which go to several Long Island charities. To date, DJS Events has had the privilege of throwing the annual fundraiser every year since its inception in 2002. Dawn has also chaired many charity events, including EAC’s Luncheon from 2004 to 2009, the March of Dimes "Real Estate Dinner" in 2004 and 2005 and the Long Island Fight for Charity which raised over $140,000 during her involvement through their first two years. Her dedication to Long Island's future is exemplified in LIE’s next big project in 2010: The Believe Symposium, which will be produced by DJS Events. The Believe Symposium is geared towards Long Island youth to "Believe in your community, your future and yourself"
