Do not waste time looking for a theme anymore. This is the one I guarantee I will be using for a long time. The versatility is incredible, and the design allows you to create anything from a simple to avantgarde feel.

Highend User“Chad’s expertise as a benefit auctioneer really makes a difference – with his help, we doubled the proceeds of our Live auction and exceeded our fund raising goals for this event! He made the live auction fun, exciting, and connected with the audience on an emotional level. He has the ability to balance competition and heartstrings appeal, inspiring people to give (and give generously) to the cause. He’s a pleasure to work with and shared lots of helpful tips and strategies, always eager to help us with any question we had.”
Hillel of Silicon Valley
Sarita Bronstein, Executive Director“When it was first suggested we consider using Principal Auctioneer, I was hesitant, believing an auctioneer was way out of our league. We are just an average middle class public school. But in talking with Chad I was convinced that he could help us take our dinner and auction event to the next level. We hadn’t met our fundraising goal the year before, so I knew we had to do something different. His consultation leading up to the event was extremely helpful as he made us look at everything differently. We had never even considered a Fund-A-Need, and again I was hesitant about how our crowd would respond. Yet I entered the evening excited and confident we would indeed surpass our goal, but I tell you, I was blown away. We made 230% of our fundraising goal and almost tripled what we brought in the year before. You just have to see it to believe it!”
The Indigo Program School, San Jose
Nicole Tieche, Vice President of Fundraising“I’m pleased to report that our Outreach Fund raised more than double of what we hoped! We had gone into the evening with very low key expectations, but thanks to your leadership, we were able to inspire people to great levels of generosity. You were spot on in reading the crowd and figuring out just the right blend of enthusiasm, humour and good old fashioned arm twisting. I would be happy to recommend you to anyone planning an auction—a job very well done!”

Chad, you rocked the house! I am in awe of you and what you did for NSA! “I drank the juice”, I had already donated and threw down more because of you!

My husband says the same thing – why bother to ever do an in person auction again? Just do it this way, and then host a dinner for community building with the price of the ticket representative of their share to cover the event. We will have to try it out sometime…

I just wanted to send you a HUGE congratulations for a job well done on Sunday night! You absolutely knocked it out of the park! You completely defied my expectations for what the online experience would look like. Chad, you are a freaking rockstar for essentially playing to an empty room and keeping your energy so high. It was strangely even more intimate than being in a large room together even though it was just me in my kitchen! I think you should even think about doing it again like this next year to be followed by an adults-only party for everyone. Is that crazy?!
Thanks for making NSA such a priority through this crazy time. You all are really amazing!!

Amidst school closure notifications, stock market lows, and quarantine precautions, Chad went online and did what he does best, fought for our school, our kids, our parents, and our teachers. With a “virtual full house”, Chad led an auction like never before. He energized the community, he adjusted to the latency issues with ease, and he brought in more funding than last year! It was a joyous and historic moment that couldn’t have been imagined less than a week before. Chad and Carolyn are true Rooftop School family, their commitment to us and their work is indisputable. Chad’s commitment to the public schools is unrelenting, we are forever appreciative for his partnership and advocacy.
Marisa Quinn, Gala Chair, Rooftop School Auction 2020 -
Wow! You are amazing. Thank you so much for your expertise, time and care. We are so appreciative that you have taken us under your wing. You were so successful with the crowd and I can’t wait for next year!
