What Clients Are Saying
"We exceeded our goals because of Patrick"
We asked Patrick to be our Emcee and Auctioneer – he knocked it out of the park! Not only did he “get” our mission, he was passionate about it and his excitement energized the attendees. We exceeded our fundraising goal because of Patrick. Not only did he do an exceptional job at the event, he brought his professionalism, his knowledge, his passion, and kindness with him. Patrick genuinely cares about the people he helps. And – he is a lot of fun to work with as well.
Victoria Curtis, RRUF Healing Heroes
"We were able to raise the most money ever (almost doubling from the year before!)"
Pat has a great ability to emcee events that run on schedule while being entertaining.
Mr. Desmond auctioneered for us. Pat has a great ability to emcee events that run on schedule while being entertaining. Finally, Mr. Desmond is creative and often brings new ideas to keep our events relevant and entertaining thus maximizing attendance. We love watching Pat in his auctioneering element as it is evident that he enjoys his role especially as it relates to helping non-profit organizations achieve success through fundraising.
Stacey Haney, Allegiant Giving
"We could not have asked for a better, more engaging, more enthusiastic Auctioneer in Patrick"
Patrick kept the auction moving along while raising much needed $$ for our Association. Patrick’s slogan ‘I believe fundraising should be fun’ is absolutely true! A terrific job and look forward to having Patrick at our next fundraiser.
