Kirk Walden is one of America’s most sought-after banquet speakers today because when he speaks, people laugh. But even more important, they are envisioned. And Kirk’s low-key--yet extremely powerful--appeal leads to extraordinary responses.
“Laughter opens the door to a successful evening,” Kirk explains. “I want people to laugh with me; then I want them to join me in a vision for a great future for the ministry.”
Kirk’s strength is in his transparency, often directing humor at himself. “I want people to identify with me. When they do, at the end of the evening they are likely to join me in giving generously—because they see what I see: A ministry that is changing our culture; and saving lives in the process.”
Kirk has taken his message across America, from Wasilla, Alaska to Burlington, Vermont. Whether a center is large or small, his stories, his humor—and his message of a bright future for pregnancy care ministries—makes an evening with Kirk Walden one your audience will always remember.

Laughter

A speaker who understands pregnancy care centers
Kirk may be the only speaker in America who will write a personal letter to each of your table hosts, thanking them and encouraging them in their task. Just ask and he will work with you on this important connection.
Kirk doesn’t simply come to speak. He also wants to visit your center so he can best communicate your needs to those who attend your event.
Someone who relates to men in the audience
As a former professional golfer, Kirk connects with men on a new level. This, combined with his experience in the center, allows him to relate to everyone in your audience.
What people say about Kirk
“We have been holding our annual fundraising dinner for 16 years. By far, Kirk was the best to work with. He is genuinely passionate about our ministry and went out of his way to help us prepare for and carry out what people were saying is our best event ever! His message was one of tragedy followed by hope and blessing, yet he kept us laughing throughout.
“Our goal for the evening was $120,000 ($10,000 higher than ever before) and we raised $123,000! He was a tremendous encouragement to all of us and I would highly recommend him for any pro-life fundraising event.”
