Auctions, Galas, Fundraisers and Athletic Events

What makes a moment powerful is our memory of it. What anchors a memory is emotional engagement, even more than surrounding colors, decor, and people. We especially retain experiences of awkwardness or boredom. Our memories, for better or worse, are indelible. The person most responsible for conveying the heart and feel as well as igniting the best possible donor gifts should be a TOP priority. 

Most events repeat to some degree whether that be annual galas, bi annual fundraisers and mixers, quarterly athletic events and even monthly series. Dynamic memorable experiences build loyalty, increase attendance, expands sponsorships leading to ever growing fundraising goals. It is incredibly gratifying partnering with producers and organizations to continuously grow their events and funds over time.   

In addition to being the Master of Ceremonies or DJ/party host, involvement with the following organizations and events have included production consulting, operations and logistics, audio/visual support, marketing and promotion, as well as moderating the flow for a seamless participant, beneficiary, benefactor, vendor and sponsor experience.
