Thank you again for another “bang up” job on our auction/paddle raise – you were fantastic as always!! This was our most successful Gala ever by a wide margin. Drum roll please…. we netted $800k after all expenses – shattering our $600K goal. I almost cried this morning when we realized the magnitude of the monies raised. Thank you so much – we continue to raise the bar every year with your help. Not sure how we will top next year but we can’t stop now – we are on a roll! 😊 Thanks again for everything – we so enjoy working with you!

Make More Money

I have countless stories of client’s who are blown away by my ability to raise money in the paddle raise/fund-a-need. Often times doubling and tripling amounts of previous auctioneers. I’ve even been hired to conduct the paddle raise at events where a “celebrity auctioneer” was being used.
