Mission
Grow. Be Better Than the Year Before.
If you think hiring a professional is expensive,
wait until you hire an amateur - Red Adair
Until you have worked with a professional benefit auctioneer, you have no idea how much money you are leaving on the table. Executive Directors who hire local newscasters, weathermen, board members or volunteers to conduct a live auction are doing the nonprofit a huge disservice. Fundraising is natural talent, coupled with incredible skill. Hire a real professional, and you’ll end your event by running on stage to bear hug them. True story.
Our goal is to work with you year after year in the planning, procurement, coordination, execution and improvement of your annual fundraiser, to make your event as large as your vision. Dan has an incredibly high retention rate with clients. Whereas most auctioneers change over every 2-3 years, Dan has had several clients for 10+ years.
