Your organization is well-known, you have a great cause to support and you've heard of other non-profit organizations that have added thousands of dollars to the bottom line of their event by adding a live auction segment.
True, a live auction can be a key component to a successful fundraising event, but just plugging "Live Auction" into the program won't get it done. In fact, many common errors relative to placement in the evening, what items to include and other factors can actually hurt your event more than help it.
Many factors play a role in making a fundraising auction a success, including timing of silent auction closings, selection of items for live auction, publicity for the event, and the schedule of the evening's activities. Darin Lawson, Auctioneer, has conducted no-tie and black-tie fundraising auctions for years, and is well-acquainted with venues like the Indiana Roof Ballroom, The Columbia Club, The Westin Hotel, The Marrott, The Ritz Charles and other ballroom facilities across central Indiana. More than just an auctioneer, Darin assists organizations during the auction event pre-planning meeting and offers suggestions for improvements that can mean tens of thousands of dollars get added to the bottom line!
