Auctions in Action (AiA) program

December 10, 2017

As the year winds down, once again our most popular service is the Auctions in Action (AiA) program. We currently have seventeen active AiA silent auctions across the valley, including Dave and Buster’s, Maggiano’s Little Italy, Odysea Aquarium and Embassy Suites hotels. Each week, our inventory specialists select new items to be rotated at each auction site. At the same time, winning bidders are contacted for payment. A variety of charities and service organizations are represented at the many AiA silent auctions across the valley, giving customers a wide range of choices as to which charity they wish to support.

What makes an effective AiA? When an AiA host business is being considered, space and location are the most important factors for success. Is there sufficient space at the front or near the front of the business for the auction items to be displayed? Is that space a high customer traffic area? If the answers to these questions is yes, then the AiA program may be perfect for your business!

How does AiA benefit the host location? Most importantly, AiA is good for business. Raising money for charitable organizations and giving back to the community enhances your reputation and builds good will among your customers. Our clients report that short-term or drop in customers have become loyal, long term customers because of the charitable contributions AiA provides for their communities.

In partnership with Rock Bottom Arrowhead, we were proud to present a check for nearly $5k to Crusaders!

Remember, that when we say the AiA program is no cost to you, we mean no cost. The AiA program requires limited resources from you, offers no risk to you, and leads to countless benefits for you.

Effective? Sure. But will it make the impact you are looking for? No. Then you hear the two words you’ve been searching for: Silent Auction. It’s perfect.

We will provide items of your choice to your organization on a consignment basis, with no financial obligation or risk on your part. The bidding process is easy, and holds a lot of benefits for you.

CBU Goes to Georgia!

July 13, 2015

Recently, Charity Benefits had the privilege of partnering with two fantastic charities and traveling to Lake Oconee, Georgia to help raise money.

The first event was hosted by the Bruce Arians Family Foundation. Before the foundation’s annual Celebrity Golf Classic, a gala dinner and concert was held, during which we raised money for the foundation. Athletes and celebrities from across the nation enjoyed a great dinner and bid on signature framed items, as well as our new jewelry line. You can connect with the Arians’ Foundation on Twitter at @AriansFF, and on Facebook at ‘Arians Family Foundation’.

The second event was the Enduring Hearts gala dinner before their 2^nd Annual Celebrity Golf Classic. Celebrities in attendance included former University of Georgia quarterback Aaron Murray and American Idol season five winner Taylor Hicks! You can find Enduring Hearts on Twitter and Facebook at @EnduringHearts and ‘Enduring Hearts‘, respectively.

Over the course of the two events, CBU raised over $8,000 for the Arians Family Foundation and Enduring Hearts. One of our employees working these events was ‘Creator of All Things’, James Hunt, who said:

“It was a great week in Georgia helping raise awareness and funds for these two great charities. Always a pleasure working events like the Arians Family Foundation.”

Charity Benefits definitely echoes James’ thoughts and we look forward to working with these two amazing foundations, as well as CMPR, in the future!

Why We Love Fundraising

June 12, 2015

We here at Charity Benefits Unlimited pride ourselves on our ability to exceed our partner’s fundraising goals. Being able to demonstrate our passion through fundraising allows us to give back to the community that helped make this company what it is today.

This past Sunday, June 7^th, we attended a dinner hosted by the ALS Association. Through our silent auction, we were able to help raise money for medical research and general awareness for Lou Gehrig’s disease. Partnering with amazing charities like ALS, Make-A-Wish, and Helping Hands, just to name a few, and raise money for fantastic causes is what we are all about.

Fundraising at these unique events allows us to not only raise money for diseases like ALS, but we also get to help with organizations that work with many other situations; such as wounded veterans, abandoned animals and children with life threatening illnesses. It allows us to span our work to countless charities, countries, and people.

We have executed over 5,000 silent auctions and have helped benefit well over 500 charities in our eight years, and each provides a different sense of satisfaction for us. Our love for fundraising allows us to come in each day knowing that at any given time we are helping someone, somewhere through our silent auctions.
