-
Promo pictures for your event
-
Nationwide travel, hotel, & meal expenses and arrangements
-
Approximate 60-minute clean stand-up comedy show, ending in a message of hope for your women
The cost of each ticket is a minimum of $20 which will be collected and handled by the host. The host organization will keep half of all ticket sales and will provide a check to Dorie Mclemore for the other half at the event. Hosts of local events guarantee that 100 tickets or more will be sold and hosts of out-of-area events guarantee that at least 150 tickets will be sold. Out-of-area is considered over 200 miles from Dallas, Texas.
The more tickets sold, the more funds you raise for your group or cause! If less than guaranteed tickets are sold, the host church will just need to cover the unsold tickets at $10/ticket at time of event.
No special decor is necessary or expected, but if decor is desired, all decor expenses, set-up/tear-down will be handled by the host and her team.
The host organization agrees to provide:
-
the location of the event with a stage, sound system, and seating for 150+ attendees
-

-
1 volunteer for airport/hotel/event transportation for Dorie (out-of-area events only)
