putting the "fun" in fundraising!
Having parlayed his quick witted performance style into auctioneering, BJ has been working with organizations of all sizes since 2016. Now his focus is on small to medium sized non-profits and as a performer himself, he has an affinity for helping theater, performance and fine arts programs.
Leading up to your event, he'll gladly make suggestions as to what order we ought to auction your items, suggest opening bids, talk details about your paddle raise (if you're having one) and share with you a few other tricks he has up his sleeve.
On the day of your event, BJ likes to keep it pretty relaxed and groovy. He believes the more fun your guests have, the more likely they are to participate. He strikes a balance between having fun, knowing when to nudge and when to say SOLD! It's this approach that has helped his clients reach or exceed their fundraising goals."

"Just excellent work BJ! We had a great time and very much appreciated your seemingly effortless lightness while keeping it professional and doing a bang up job at the auctioneer-ing. I truly felt you added a fundamental piece we've been missing at our golf event. I hope we can work together again in the future."
