Here is a little behind the scenes of what it looks like that I do to prepare for a fundraising gala. Working on Notes, making sure my gear is all ready to go, making sure my timing and departure times are ready to go. Lots of nuances that go into making a great performance happen for my nonprofit client. Hope this helps you be more prepared for your upcoming Fundraising Events!

Hi team! Looking for a ringer. Anyone close to Wilmington? You’d get to work with me!

We’re in the middle of event season and I know that many of you had events this weekend. The Call To Auction team has 3 events this weekend and all ended up gang-busters! Although attendance numbers are down…Fundraising is UP!!! We are excited to be the conduit for change through Live Event Fundraising! How’d your events go?

Although it was a great night of fundraising…I had to take much of my own advice to heart when it came to overcoming the sickness and travel. It all came together in the end. Things I used to get through: Lots of water Warm up extra Limited talking before taking the stage Conscious breathing Tone awareness Trust in the AV team Today was a much needed rest day after many days of traveling, presenting and fundraising. I’ll be back with weekly drills tomorrow. Thanks everyone!
