Hosting a Gala? Take a look at a few tips we have learned along the way. https://lnkd.in/e_FQRaYX

Last night Leanne & I attended our sons fundraising gala for his school There was a live auction mid way through the night. The biggest item was a $35K trip to South Africa: - 5 bed villa - infinity pool - private chef - unlimited game drives ….The works Leanne looked at me and didn’t even need to say anything… …my paddle went up. Of course we won after multiple bids: dropping 5 figures without needing to think, without going into the night thinking we were going to drop $13K on a trip to South Africa… (we had no idea what the items were until the auction started) The last time we were in South Africa was back in 2017. Leanne was pregnant with Beau and still in her corporate job. We had a life changing trip. And now we get to go back taking our kids and our entire family to have the most insane experience. We are a team 💯 We don’t even need to verbally communicate to know what each other are thinking. We know what we want and we move… - we don’t overthink - or worry about the outcome (when we decide, we decide it’s already done & we are rock solid in supporting each other in going after it) The way we moved last night is how we move in everything we do & it’s the same reason we have built insane amounts of wealth quickly. The fastest way to building wealth & creating a life that most people dream of? Stop thinking and moving the way everyone else does. Put yourself in rooms that challenge you to think bigger. To move differently. To see solutions where others see problems & road blocks. If you’re ready to move different & create illogical results that most people spend their life dreaming about… my work is for you

The fourth and final post in our “Breathe the Mission into your Fundraising Event” Series. If you haven’t viewed our last three posts and videos, please go back and review to fully understand this specific post. We started with that special moment watching the children at Academy Prep Centers for Education Prep passionately saying that daily convocation in the school hall. We then saw the teachers, staff, and alumni leading the guests at the Gala event in reciting that convocation. And how about that impactful video that was shown before the Bid from the Heart (Paddle Raise)? Now it's GO time. Time to maximize the emotional impact and transform emotion into giving. At Auction Horizon, we believe everything that happens on the fundraising stage should be with the intent of maximizing fundraising potential and building giving momentum. The wording is intentional. Gestures are intentional. Energy is intentional. Emotion is intentional. We also know that time is of the essence when it comes to maximizing the money raised. For this reason, we work very closely with the client on timing and scripting. Adrian and Da’Shaun, the alumni featured in the impact video shared in yesterday’s post, were able to attend the event amid their busy schedules. The big question was: How do we incorporate these two gentlemen into the giving moment after the very impactful video without losing momentum and too much very precious fundraising time? The result can be seen in this video. Adrian and Da’Shaun walked onto that stage after the video and became part of the fundraising team. The positioning on stage was intentional. The scripting was intentional. They opened the door for Tarryn to introduce that first big level and maximize the power of the give at $25,000. The final part of breathing that Mission into the audience. The result? $125,000 raised on the first level of giving. A few hundred thousand dollars raised over the remaining levels. To sum it all up, many components go into a successful fundraising event, but MISSION is front and center. #breathethemissionintoyourevent #auctionhorizon #fundraising https://lnkd.in/eW4rarg5
