Living Room
Celebrity Concerts are unique fundraising events.
Legendary artists such as Leon Russell, Dr. John, John
Hiatt, and Maureen McGovern, among others, perform in
your living room, creating an exciting and intimate evening,
enabling your non-profit to net anywhere from $10-$30,000.
The target donor is 45 to 65 years of age - people who
grew up with 60's and 70's music and are thrilled to be
up front and center with music legends from their youth.
We have identified over 100 artists that fit the bill.
Living Room Celebrity Concerts are a unique twist
on the house party concept. They can be held
at any time of day... a Sunday brunch or evening reception.
These high profile musicians perform in a lively, fun,
exciting and intimate atmosphere, which is very conducive
to meeting donors on a one-to-one basis.
Tickets can be priced from $75-$250 which includes dinner,
beer and wine, as well as the Living Room Celebrity
Concert. The evening also includes time to meet the
artist and a platform for you
to present your organization's message. The concert is
a great way to develop a donor mailing list, and other
fundraising opportunities including auctioning signed
albums and other materials. |

The first step
is to choose the artist and the date of the event. Be
aware that each Living Room Celebrity Concert is
different: A solo artist might require a home with a piano
while another may bring a four-piece band. Allow a minimum
of sixty days to organize and promote the event.
Step two is to identify a home best suited to host the
concert. Our staff of party planners and music
production managers can help assess whether the home can
properly handle the concert and will
manage and supervise the entire event to ensure that the
home and property remain in pristine
condition. Hosting costs cover food, flowers, security
staff, sound and lighting, cleaning the
home before and after the event, and on site staff to
arrange/manage the concert. |

Living
Room Celebrity Concerts
are flexible and can meet your cost to raise ratio requirements.
Each geographical area is different and in turn will impact
the asking price of each ticket. Tickets for these musical
acts in local venues currently cost $50-100 per ticket.
Throw in the costs of dinner and drinks of $100 per couple
and the Living Room Celebrity Concert makes a great
entertainment offer to entice your potential donors.
A sample project would be a Dr. John Living Room Celebrity
Concert in a large metropolitan area.

Living
Room Celebrity Concerts
will increase your voice and visibility across the community,
assist signing up new members; raising needed funds to
support your work; and help identify others in your area
who would be interested in getting involved.
Once your members attend the first Living Room Celebrity
Concert you will receive requests from members to
host their favorite musical acts. Members can call their
friends and say, "Can you come over, I am having
Dr. John play in my living room". Each new Living
Room Celebrity Concert introduces your organization to
a range of new potential donors. |
