Testimonial
Using the strategies outlined in the Silent Auction Handbook enabled our organization to triple silent auction revenues at this year’s annual fundraiser.
Last year, our Silent Auction was a logistical nightmare. Thankfully, this year, we found the Silent Auction Handbook. The kit gave us step-by-step instructions for organizing all the details at every stage of the event. The SA Handbook was required reading for staff and Board members this year. It gave us an orderly system that everybody liked and could easily work with.
