PERRY HAWKINS PRESENTSRAISE
THE ROOM
A great event isn't measured by how many people showed up. It's measured by what happened once they got there.
Raise the Room works alongside your team to strengthen the energy, flow, connection, and moments that make an event matter.
Because a microphone doesn't create an experience.
People do.
Don’t Just Fill the Room, Raise it
MC & Event Hosting Guiding live events with warmth, energy, humor, strong transitions, audience awareness, and professional program management.
Auctioneering & Fundraising Live auctions, paddle raises, fund-a-need moments, and fundraising experiences that connect generosity to the organization's mission.
Event CurationWorking with clients before the event to enhance the run-of-show, pacing, transitions, speaker flow, audience moments, entertainment, music cues, and overall guest experience.
Audience Engagement Interactive moments, crowd work, games, sponsor activations, audience participation, and creative experiences that turn spectators into participants.
What Makes Us Different
Raise the Room isn't about putting a personality with a microphone at the center of an event.
We believe the best hosts know when to bring energy, when to create space, when to make people laugh, when to move the program forward, and when to get out of the way.
Perry combines more than two decades of experience in public speaking, live entertainment, music, nonprofit leadership, youth and community engagement, event production, and audience interaction.
Raise the Room doesn't replace what an organization has created. We enhance it.
Meet Perry
People know when they're being talked at. They also know when they're part of something.My background spans public speaking, music, nonprofit leadership, live entertainment, DJ/MC work, audience engagement, and event production.
Today, I bring those worlds together to help organizations create events that feel less like programs people sit through and more like experiences they're actually part of…
