Dear Funding Organizer,

There is no type-o here. Yes, billion not million. Total revenue from Benefit/Fundraiser Auctions in the year 2007 was 16.2 billion. Total revenue from Benefit/Fundraising Auctions in recent years has been over 16 Billion Dollars. This was according to an Industry research study conducted by Morpace International and Harris Interactive for the, National Auctioneers Association.

The study also found that the number one reason people attend Auctions is to “have fun!”

Was your fundraising efforts part of these statistics? If not, you may be in the next research study!

VAUGHN’S AUCTION SERVICES knows how hard it is to raise the funds needed to support, run and supply, Non-profit, Charitable Organizations and Worthy Causes in today’s economy. However, we also know that there is a “giving spirit” that motivates many to accomplish the extra ordinary. To bring that giving spirit to the forefront you need a professionally train Auctioneer.

Rather than idly presenting numbers to your audience, we interact and establish a personal rapport. I believe in entertaining the audience, which creates a more memorable event. The audience appreciates this focus and it tends to elevate the generosity of their bidding.

Put your trust in a Professional Benefit Auctioneer who can work along with you, to reach your goals.

Call TODAY (520) 631-7800 and let me, answer your questions about how an Experienced Professional Auctioneer can enhance and generate FUN, EXCITEMENT, and MONEY for your next fundraising event. I have helped raise needed funds for the Special Olympics, Equine Voices, and Integrative Touch For Kids to name a few.

I have a 20 to 30 minute presentation that will demonstrate how a Professional Benefit Auctioneer can bring monetary and heartfelt rewards to your organization and donors. And, of course I will be more than happy to answer any questions afterward.

Yours truly,
