DAVID HONORED – On November 8, 2009, David was honored with the First Annual David Mirisch Lifetime Achievement award from a San Diego based non-profit called Photocharity. Over 200 people attended a dinner and show at Anthology Club. David is on the Board of Directors and has helped them raise over $1,500,000 to help take care of the 1,600 teenagers who sleep on the streets every night in downtown San Diego. Funds raised go to The Storefront which is a shelter in the Hillcrest District. Each year a new person will be selected that has done the most in the San Diego area to help homeless teenagers.

WORKING WITH SCHOOLS

The need to raise money for schools is an ongoing effort that David and celebrities alike, agree is important. Often times David consults with the Athletic Directors and Development Directors to show them how they can raise many of the required funds through the production of a celebrity non profit event. In his career, he has produced over 500 celebrity basketball games, bowling tournaments and softball games at schools throughout Southern California to help them meet their financial needs.

 
David the Humanitarian – David has had a collection of over 100 miniature horses that he has collected from his travels all over the world. It even won a prize for “collectables” at the annual Del Mar Fair. He decided it was time to share them with someone else. The picture above shows David donating them to the kindergarten class of The Classical Academy in Escondido. David had fun that day and so did the children.

PUBLIC SPEAKING

David has lectured at numerous fundraising workshops, expos and non profit meetings to show organizations an alternative to their typical charity events. He explains to them how he can save them money on their logistics while making them money through exposure, increased ticket sales and auction items. He also helps them see the power and excitement that celebrities can bring to a fundraising event.

David has also acted as Master of Ceremonies and as Auctioneer (although not a professional auctioneer) at many events as a free service. He has managed to raise thousands of dollars by incorporating his celebrity guests in the auction process for a number of organizations.

David has had the pleasure of speaking to college communications and Public Relations classes around Southern California. With his background of 30 years as a publicist in the entertainment industry and an event coordinator, he has much to offer in respect to being a small business owner thriving in a large industry and what it takes to accomplish what he has in his lifetime.
