Example Emcee Script

An emcee plays a huge role in enhancing the giving behavior that Swell’s software encourages. Using the display tool and your QR codes can help.

Use this as a jumping-off point when planning your script. 

Primary Goal:  Activate audience participation in two ways:

(1) Compete for prizes on the leaderboard by getting friends to donate

(2) INVITE online networks to join them at the party – their friends can watch the party online and send messages via Facebook or twitter.  

(3) Help the guests think differently about this event as it is built to include people who are not attending
