Silent but Deadly š¤«
If you are going to take the time to do something - do it well. Bad auctions aren't serving your organization and they may just be sending the wrong message.
We've seen a lot of hilarious things in our careers and on thing's certain - auctions never cease to amaze! From the countless hours of staff time consumed to the most random auction items, we've just gotta laugh.
š Punchline: How much time (and stuff) is wasted when we aren't intentional in our fundraising efforts? Evaluate what you're doing and be mindful of the message we're sending.Ā
