Text Kevin About a FundraiserCall Kevin About Your Event

Need a host for the event you are planning?

Kevin can welcome your guests, deliver planned announcements, introduce speakers, recognize supporters or honorees, and guide transitions through the parts of the program you ask him to lead. Whether your fundraiser, banquet, recognition program, or organization gathering is formal, social, or a mix of both, tell him who will be in the room, what matters to your organization, and where you need a clear, personable voice at the microphone.

  • Fundraising dinners and banquets
    Discuss the planned program and the points where the room needs a welcome, introduction, announcement, or transition.
  • Recognition of supporters, honorees, or guests
    Prepare the correct names, pronunciations, roles, and approved language for each acknowledgment.
  • Speaker introductions and planned announcements
    Identify who is speaking, why the moment matters, and what information guests should receive.
  • Organization gatherings with a program to guide
    Use the agreed sequence to define which moments Kevin leads and which remain with your team.
  • A formal program, a social evening, or both
    Describe the desired tone instead of assuming the same routine belongs in every room.

How Kevin can help elevate your program

Give your guests a warm welcome, your speakers a thoughtful introduction, and your supporters the recognition they deserve. Kevin can bring a professional, personable presence to those moments and guide the transitions between them. Talk through your evening together to decide what he will lead and how his hosting will support the program your team has planned.

    Bring speakers, presentations, and planned moments into focus.
  • Recognize supporters or honorees
    Help acknowledgments land clearly and respectfully.
  • Guide transitions
    Move the room from one agreed moment to the next.
  • Keep the agreed program moving
    Support the sequence the organization has planned.

Inquire with Kevin about your fundraiser or banquet

  • Tell Kevin what you’re planning

    Call or text Kevin with your date, location, and who will be attending your fundraiser or banquet. Share a rough schedule if you have one—you don’t need every detail settled to start the conversation.

  • Share your goals and objectives

    Tell Kevin about your organization, your cause, and what you want the evening to accomplish. Discuss the introductions, recognition, announcements, or transitions you’d like him to lead, along with the tone you want for your crowd.

  • Discuss availability and your crowd

    Check Kevin’s availability and whether his hosting style suits your guests. If you both want to move forward, talk through equipment, travel, fees, and booking details. If your evening includes an auction or fundraising appeal, ask about that separately.

Practical answers

What can Kevin handle at the microphone?
Kevin can welcome guests, make planned announcements, introduce speakers or program items, recognize supporters or honorees, and guide transitions. The exact role is agreed before booking. Share your rough program so each on-mic moment can be assigned deliberately instead of leaving the committee and host to make assumptions.
Can the event be both professional and fun?
Yes. Professional and personable do not require the evening to feel stiff. Describe the tone you want, the audience, the organization, and any moments that should feel formal, celebratory, warm, or light. That direction is more useful than assuming Kevin will bring a generic routine to every fundraiser or banquet.
Does Kevin auctioneer, direct fundraising appeals, or guarantee fundraising results?
Those responsibilities and outcomes are not assumed. Describe whether your program includes an auction or appeal, identify who currently owns that portion, and ask Kevin directly about the specific need. Hosting cannot guarantee donations, participation, revenue, or any other fundraising result.
Does Kevin provide microphones, production, scripts, or coordination?
None of those items is assumed. Explain what the venue, production team, committee, auction team, or other partners are providing. Then discuss and document the exact scope, including any script preparation, equipment, sound, production cues, coordination, travel, fees, or terms that matter to your event.
What should I have ready before I call or text?
Start with your date, location, and a little about your fundraiser or banquet. If you have a schedule or names and pronunciations to share, bring those too. You don’t need a finished plan to call or text Kevin.
