Interactive Fundraiser Entertainment in Edmonton
Court Jester helps charity galas, school fundraisers and community events create a room people want to participate in. The all-request format combines live music, audience involvement and flexible event coordination, and all money collected in the tip jars is donated to the cause.
BUILT AROUND THE CAUSE
Keep supporters engaged in the event
Fundraising events often have several important program elements: dinner, speeches, auctions, sponsor recognition and the ask. Court Jester works with organizers to place the entertainment where it supports the room instead of competing with the purpose of the event. The all-request show gives supporters a reason to stay involved. Guests can request songs, sing along and help shape the performance while your team keeps the cause at the centre of the evening.All tips donated to the cause
Every dollar collected in Court Jester’s onstage tip jars is donated to the organization or cause named for the event. Requests become a simple, visible way for guests to participate while the show is underway. Court Jester has supported events for New Heights School, STARS, the Drayton Valley ALS Committee, Edmonton’s Food Bank, the Alberta Diabetes Foundation, NorQuest College’s 1,000 Women initiative and the Grande Cache Animal Society.Entertainment supporters ask to see again
Many fundraiser bookings grow from repeat events, venue referrals and guests who experienced the show at another community celebration. That familiarity helps create a welcoming, participatory atmosphere without losing sight of why everyone gathered.“Tim and Kelly stole the show right from the start with their quick setup and amazing skills with the crowd. I have been to a few of these shows in North America and I can say that these two have something special. I would recommend this show and Tim and Kelly to anyone that wants something different from the mainstream…total entertainment.”
— Jamie Coutts, Regional Fire Chief, Lesser Slave Regional Fire Service — Canadian Volunteer Fire Service Association Conference
“Combined with their generosity in donating their tips to a local charity of your choice…we look forward to working with this duo for years to come!”
— Heather Walker, General Manager, Rolling Green Fairways
