The Josh McDowell Ministry (TX), Josh McDowell
"I am thrilled to lend my support and personal blessing to Champion Events Group and its president, Don Carmichael. I recommend them to you enthusiastically, whole-heartedly, and without reservation. Our golf marathon program, directed by Don, raised over $500,000 for our Why Wait? campaign. I wish you the greatest success!"
University of Alabama, AL (Todd Borst)
"Our students rallied behind the Champion Events Group program and raised $194,000 on our first event! We believe this event ranks as the most successful one of its kind for our students in our 170-year history!"
Chapter and Faculty Advisor (Sigma Chi - Samford University), Dr. James Barnette
"Our young men thoroughly enjoyed their experience and relationship with Champion Golf. The brothers were pleased beyond measure with their service... they continue to speak with pride about the accomplishments they achieved in raising over $60,000. I commend Champion Events Group to your chapter."
Live Dinner Auctions
Live Dinner Auctions are the ideal opposite-season complement to any of our other Signature events. Dinner Auctions help cultivate new donors generated from a Champion personal-sponsor-based event by introducing them to your organization and showcasing your mission.
Most fundraising auctions are fundamentally flawed due to a lack of knowledge of what works best and what doesn't. Many auctions are inadvertently promoted as “flea markets” where people are encouraged to come buy great stuff cheap, versus as “spending events” where people come excited to spend a lot of money.
We have packaged the 40 Best Practices of most successful fundraising auctions and the Top 10 Mistakes to Avoid. Most auction events that raise over $100,000 – including one that recently raised $998,000 – utilize the secrets and core principles found in our Dinner Auction program.
Check out one of the short presentations below to see how we can help you start an annual auction, or take your existing auction to a new level of success. (We are offering our Auction program for a limited time at a significantly reduced cost.)
