MORE THAN JUST LIVE MUSIC AT YOUR EVENT
Scott Helmer is a high-energy entertainer with a powerful real-life story of collapse, survival, rebuilding, and hope.
In 2008, Scott nearly lost everything and came within seconds of ending his own life.
Instead, he rebuilt his life through music and purpose, eventually touring America full-time while helping nonprofits and community causes create exciting live fundraising events that inspire audiences to never give up.
Today, Scott has performed more than 1,000 live shows nationwide, shared stages with Heart, Eddie Money, 3 Doors Down, Jeff Bridges, and Eric Burdon & The Animals, and holds a Guinness World Records title.
Scott has helped support organizations and initiatives focused on suicide prevention, veterans, first responders, equine-assisted services, animal rescues, food banks, children and adults with special needs, historic theatres, cancer support initiatives, recovery programs, and many other community-driven causes across America.
But what truly makes him different is this:
Scott is using his music, story, and platform to help others.
That mission is felt throughout his entire performance.
A SIMPLE FUNDRAISING EXPERIENCE
This isn’t a complicated concert production.
It’s an exciting turnkey fundraising opportunity designed to work for almost any organization, venue, or community.
Events can take place at theaters, wineries, breweries, parks, private residences, barns and ranches, places of worship, live music venues, nonprofit facilities, local businesses, community centers, outdoor spaces, event venues, backyards, and more.
This format was intentionally designed to be flexible, accessible, and easy to present in a wide variety of communities, venues, and event environments.
THE SHOW
Scott Helmer delivers his high-energy One-Man Rock & Country Music Show, a powerful 90-minute live concert experience featuring crowd-favorite rock and country hits from across the decades, audience interaction, inspiring storytelling, powerful original music, and a message of perseverance and hope.
Scott keeps audiences engaged, energized, connected, and involved through live interaction, storytelling, and crowd participation woven naturally into the performance.
During his performance, Scott shares part of his personal collapse-to-comeback story and explains why he continues dedicating his national touring career to supporting organizations and causes working to improve lives and strengthen communities.
The event is emotional, uplifting, exciting, interactive, and fun.
People sing.
People dance.
People connect.
And throughout his show, the benefiting cause remains at the heart of the event.
THE GUITAR
Every booking also includes the donation of a brand-new acoustic guitar played live by Scott throughout the performance.
But the guitar represents something much bigger than just a fundraiser item.
During the show, Scott shares how, after nearly losing his life in 2008, he made a decision to rebuild with one mission:
“To pick up my guitar and hit the road, create and perform music, tell my story, and inspire people to never give up.”
For Scott, standing on stage, singing his songs and playing that guitar today is living proof that hope and comebacks are possible.
That emotional connection becomes part of the entire experience.
Early in the show, Scott explains the guitar fundraiser to the audience and highlights the mission and purpose behind the event.
Throughout the event, the guitar can be incorporated into the organization or venue’s fundraising activities and awarded during the emotional live finale of the show.
The guitar becomes more than just a prize.
It becomes part of the experience itself.
Simple.
Exciting.
Interactive.
Memorable.
Organizations, venues, and community partners can incorporate the guitar into raffles, auctions, giveaways, sponsorship promotions, or other fundraising activities throughout the event.
In many cases, the guitar fundraiser alone can significantly offset — or potentially cover — Scott’s performance fee.
Example:
250 guests purchasing $10 raffle tickets creates $2,500 in fundraising opportunity before additional ticket sales, sponsorships, donations, food and beverage sales, auctions, or merchandise revenue are even considered.
