“Chad is a masterful auctioneer – funny and witty. He had our audience engaged and ready to bid from the first moment to the last! We exceeded our goal by nearly 30% and it was because we had Chad there to work his magic and get our audience excited to donate toward a worthy cause.”

Kyle Elliott, Event ChairThank you for helping create an amazing event for our district! Your energy and commitment are so contagious, you enlivened the room and made it fun for people to spend more than they’ve ever spent at our auction!
It was wonderful to have your strategic advice in planning – all of which turned out as you predicted. Your approach to Fund-A-Need and Last Hero allowed so many people to participate. I’m excited not only for the fundraising we did during the event, but to see the potential and willingness of our parents to step up when called upon. I think it’s clear we can cast a wider net and can continue to find ways for our community to give at all levels to help us hit higher goals.
Thank you for all your work making this a success!

SchoolForce, PresidentFriends of Napa County Animal Shelter recently worked with Gary for our first annual A Tail to Remember benefit to raise money for animals in need in Napa County. Gary was extremely helpful throughout the planning process, offering advise and guidance from his years of experience. He explained what works and what doesn’t allowing us to focus our efforts on things that would make our nonprofit the most money. Over the months of planning, Gary was an invaluable resource to us and extremely responsive. At our event, Gary had great energy and effortlessly kept the crowd engaged and donating money, while maintaining the event schedule. Our guests commented on his professionalism and everyone agreed he did a wonderful job. Our first fundraiser was a big success due in part to Gary’s guidance! We highly recommend Gary and we look forward to working with him in the future. On behalf of all the animals we will help with the money raised, thank you Gary!
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.

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!
