Live Auction & Paddle Raise Services

Our Live Auction & Paddle Raise service is for nonprofits that want both at the same event. It combines a professionally run live auction with a high-impact paddle raise, so you get momentum, excitement, and meaningful donor engagement throughout the evening.

Led by Erin Kienzle, an experienced benefit auctioneer, Giving4Good brings strategy, energy, and intention to every event, helping you raise more while keeping your guests connected to the mission behind the cause.

Your Live Auction and Paddle Raise, All in One Night

You'll get two of the most powerful fundraising moments rolled into one seamless experience:

➤ A professionally executed live auction that keeps bidding strong and items performing at their full potential

➤ A strategic paddle raise designed to inspire generosity and drive meaningful donations

➤ Pre event planning and consultation to align your messaging, flow, and fundraising goals

➤ On site leadership to guide donors, maintain energy, and keep the program running smoothly

Is This Fundraising Auction Service Right for Your Event?

This service works best for

➤ Non profit galas and benefit events
➤ Organizations hosting a live auction with multiple items
➤ Events that include an appeal or need a strong giving moment
➤ Teams looking for experienced guidance from start to finish

If you're doing both an auction and a paddle raise, this is the service for you
