Auctioneer – Lights, Camera, Action!

Let’s start the show as Sanford Marshall sets the stage for an auction experience that is full of fun that serves a great purpose, Your Cause. Sanford uses his sense of humor, training as a professional actor and the technical skills of auctioneering to keep the audience engaged and actively participating in the show. This type of action truly lends itself to achieving and exceeding your fundraising goals. Rest assured with Sanford running the show nothing will be left on the table and your guests have had a fantastic time supporting and learning about your mission.

Fund a Need

Fund a Need and Paddle Raises- Time to put on our Rally Caps

We love Fund a Need and Paddle Raises. This is the moment in the evening where we ask the whole room to join forces with us to achieve our B.H.A.G for the night (Big Hairy Audacious Goal) Sanford gets the crowd jumping as he challenges and encourages them to do whatever they can to support the goals of your Fund a Need. We want them excited that they are a part of the change that is happening in the lives and communities your organization serves. So, let’s put on our rally caps and help Pay it Forward.
