Hosting a charity event can be an incredibly challenging and rewarding task. As with any corporate event, there are a number of key factors to consider when planning your event to make it a success.
One of the most important elements is choosing a theme that will effectively represent your charitable cause and make it a special night for everyone to enjoy and remember. Themes can be an obvious choice, such as a sports theme for sports related charities. Alternatively, you may choose a glamourous cocktail theme, with red carpets and celebrities to really wow your guests.
Fitting your theme around your aim
First thing’s first, think about the type of event you are hosting and who will be attending. If you’re planning on hosting a charity auction evening, then a glitzy black-tie theme with a sit down dinner is perfect. Really hot up the bidding by hiring a celebrity auctioneer like Murray Walker, the voice of Formula One. He can confidently guide your guests through all the twists and turns of the auction, making it almost as exciting as the F1 itself!
If you are planning a more light-hearted event, you could opt for a jungle theme. It would allow your guests to have fun with costumes, and plenty of photo opportunities too. By involving corporate events talent agents, you can have your pick of celebrities from shows like ‘I’m a Celebrity, Get Me Out of Here’ to host the evening.
Also sports themed events are a great way to incorporate fun activities throughout the day or evening. You can make your event really stand out, by hiring inspirational sports celebrities like ex-England goalkeeper, David Seaman. They can show off their skills on the day, or be hosts or guest speakers on your behalf. It’s a great way inspire people to donate to your cause.
Keep it consistent
Whatever theme you decide to accompany your event, simply make sure it’s consistent and in keeping with your objectives for the charity event. Associating your brand and charity with well-known faces is a great place to start. For more information on corporate entertainment ideas simply contact celebrity agents MN2S.
