The Charity Fundraiser! This is the SINGLE most misunderstood public function....by those who plan them! Organizers of a charity fundraiser know they need to raise money for a cause, critical funds for a cause or initiative they care deeply about. To do this, they need a lot of people to attend. For people to attend, they need a draw: food, prizes, fun, entertainment; and they need it held in a place that everyone recognizes: ballroom, convention centre, open park with tents. There is a ton of planning and expense poured into a plan and mechanism to raise as much as they can to pay the expense and raise the money and awareness they planned for. BUT many fall off the cliff here; they plan to spend $0 on the ONE person who they depend on to orchestrate this event to fully maximize it's earning potential. As a trained, experienced and accomplished Master of Ceremony, we know the whole universe of unseen techniques and proven tactics to accomplish 2 CRITICAL goals: 1-maximize the potential of the night and 2- (never considered by most) maximize the potential of return ticket sales for the following year. Let's master this!
