“I absolutely LOVE being a fundraising auctioneer! My goal is to engage your guests in a fun and meaningful way. I am most in my element when I am championing your cause, raising money, making people laugh, and creating lasting connections. I will consult with you to see what the right event is for your group. Whether an annual gala for 300 people or a junior donor event on a Tuesday night, I will bring my enthusiasm and passion to make your event the unique and special event it is.”

Enthusiasm matters and it's the planning that goes into an event that makes it successful. I work with the client to make sure all the elements are in place to make it successful.

CASE STUDY: "Non-Profit B"
"Non-Profit B" is a 2 year residential recovery program for women exploited through sex trafficking, prostitution and addiction. NPB's residential program provides long-term secure housing as a haven from the social, psychological and economic factors that drive women to desperate means for survival.
On March 16, 2019, NPB hosted their 5th Annual Fundraising Gala Event. Fundraising had been inconsistent over the first four years fluctuating from $10,000 raised the first year, up to $30,000 their third year, then decreasing back again to $20,000 at the previous year's gala. Lisa listened to the previous years' activities, what each one raised and suggested new activities that would further engage their guests. In addition, she worked with the event lead to create an agenda for the evening. NPB's donors are passionate and generous with their support. The opportunity was to offer a variety of activities for the guests to engage with at several giving levels. With 175 guests in attendance, the goal was set at $60,000 for the night of the event. With four new activities including a dessert dash, raffle and live auction added to the gala, the total funds raised were just under $70,000, meeting and exceeding the goal of $60,000 and raising their total funds by 250% from the previous year.
