A Few Words from Bob...
Throughout my career, I've been blessed to work with incredible organizations, both large and small, and have gotten to know the dedicated directors, staff and volunteers who drive them. I'm so proud to be part of your wonderful fundraising events. You have become an extremely important part of my life and inspire me.
I’m also inspired by the incredible donors who support life-changing organizations with every event. Their generosity and compassion seem never-ending as they prove time and time again. Despite the many, many times I’m privileged to witness it play out, it’s always awe-striking.
While the Covid years made it especially difficult for charitable organizations to raise their needed funding, the effort to make up for that lost time is in full gear. There’s a renewed energy among those groups as well as the kind donors. The determination to make a difference is stronger than I’ve ever experienced. Perfect timing too! I recently retired from my career with Strongsville City Schools, which makes it much easier to travel to more events, not only throughout Ohio but throughout the country. So please don’t hesitate to reach out. The sooner, the better! That way, I can make sure to get the reservation for your next event on my calendar.
I also want to stress something that is very, very important to me. I do not discriminate against smaller organizations and events.
At a recent seminar I attended, I heard one of the instructors state, " I don't have time for little events." Instantly, I was truly saddened by the remark. What a disservice to the profession I love so much.
If you're reading this because you're looking for a benefit auctioneer who's dedicated to their profession and filled with passion, energy, and experience, please call me. I'm more than happy to help take your event to a new level.
If you're an auctioneer reading this because you're interested in becoming a benefit auctioneer, someone who's truly interested in helping organizations but doesn't know where to turn, call me. I'll be more than happy to help guide you to a fulfilling career.
I thank all of you who work for or support the incredible organizations on a mission to make our world a better place. You do an awesome job on so many levels, and I’m grateful to be a part of it. I look forward to working with you as we continue this tradition of unwavering support and achievement.
Bob
