Testimonals

(and other kind words from clients)

“I wanted to extend my sincere thanks for the incredible role you played in making this year’s gala such a success. Your energy, timing, and ability to read the room are truly unmatched, and the results speak for themselves.

Thanks to your leadership during the live auction, we achieved a record-breaking evening bringing in over $363,000, surpassing last year’s total by 13%. You have a remarkable way of inspiring generosity while keeping the atmosphere fun, engaging, and just the right amount of competitive. Please save the date (and send a contract), so we can do this all over again next year!”

“I just wanted to send you a note adding my voice to the others who are so appreciative of your work as MC/Auctioneer at our Gala. You did a great job - again - working the room and knocking yourself out raising money for the school. 

Thank you for caring enough to do your job so well, Harrison. I hope we can do it again and again.”

-Roger L

League School for Autism Board Chair

“I am so grateful for your skill, talent, and commitment. You are just a good dude and you did a great job once again for us this year. Thank you for making the evening such a success. I think it could have gone the other way, if not for you. You always have a great reference in me if you ever need one. Thanks again, Harrison. See you next year.”

-Jamie Hathaway

President and CEO

Make-a-Wish Vermont and Northeast New York

“You were the star!  So many people commented about how fun you made the event.

Thank you so much.  We'll get right on these to do items and look forward to a debrief after the holidays and another round on May 7th next year!”

-Sue Gabriel

Chief Executive Officer

Boys and Girls Club of Greater Salem

“As they say, the proof is in the pudding. With Harrison’s support, we saw a consistent increase in dollars raised and overwhelmingly positive feedback from attendees at both Easterseals Massachusetts events, and Berkshire South experienced its most successful fundraising event in our 23-year history. I can honestly say I’m a better fundraiser because of what I’ve learned from him, and I continue to apply his insights long after the last paddle is raised.

Harrison takes the time to fully understand our goals, mission, program flow, audience, and available tools. He meets with the team several times beforehand, arrives hours early on event day to connect with key staff, and provides a thorough post-event report with data-driven recommendations for future success.

Harrison is a consummate professional who elevates every event he touches.
