The Singing Angels to Celebrate 50th Anniversary

Mark Schroeder BAS and Auction brio are proud to be conducting the first ever fundraising gala for The Singing Angels. The prolific children's singing group that has performed around the world will celebrate it's 50th year with a giant gala in Cleveland, Ohio.

The Singing Angels gala committee and board selected Auction brio because we work with the organization for up to a year in advance attending meetings and providing fresh ideas to maximize full fundraising potential not only auction night, but banking money months in advance.

This event is now 11 months away, though our planning meetings started a month ago.

Great Night for Walsh Jesuit HS & the POWWOW

I am proud to announce that in Auction brio's first year of conducting the POWWOW auction for Walsh Jesuit High School, we significantly raised more funds than the previous year.

The live auction featured 41 packages from trips to experiences. There were some unique items too. The blend of value levels kept the over 600 guests in competitive bidding until the last item.

Without a doubt, the wow factor was a cute Maltese puppy that had guests leaving their seats and huddling around the two bidders. They cheered encouragement for one more bid and the bidders would raise their paddle for another hundred. The new family pet sold into the thousands and no one was happier than the daughter of the winning bidder who was present and is a student at the school.

The POWWOW auction committee and I met face-to-face on a number of occasions. I shared ideas that we applied and they opened new opportunities to raise significantly more money at the auction. It worked well and guests responded by giving more money and competitively bidding.
