Testimonials
“Shannon was absolutely amazing- from the beginning working with her to the night of and after she has helped us. We had professional auctioneers in the past but she definitely knew what she was doing and brought a sense of professionalism and fun to our Gala. We had set our goal for the live auction gala and Shannon helped us to double that goal! Without her insight and work the night of, there is no way we would have hit surpassed our goal. I highly recommend her!“
The Raising Paddles team is dynamite! We worked with both Dan and Shannon for our auction, with Shannon being our auctioneer. She was prepared, sincere and really drew in our guests. Their team of four talked up our silent and live auction items and sat amongst the guests during dinner. Shannon exceeded our expectations! They are true professionals who know how to work the crowd.
