Gary Gottfried Barn Raising Gala - Chagrin Valley Fire Department July 8, 2022

Wow! Our 25th Anniversary Papal ACTS Gala was everything we had hoped for and more. Mark Schroeder partnered with us as we developed many aspects of our event. He attended meetings, responded to our needs, and expressed a genuine enthusiasm for our ACTS Gala's success. When it came time for the "live auction", Mark captured the energy in the audience and delivered an impressive result. 400 in attendance were captivated by his astute, knowledgeable & entertaining delivery. Our experience with Mark Schroeder and Auction brio is one that many will be talking about and that we are grateful for. We look forward to working with Mark again in the near future

Mark does so much more than talk fast and encourage people to raise their paddles! He is fully on board from the moment he is signed up, through the night of the benefit and beyond. When you hire Mark, he really digs in to understand your organization, the details of each auction and raffle item, how the fund a need proceeds are used, and the best way to encourage your particular audience to be generous. He meets with you several times as you lead up to your event and is always available by phone and email to give suggestions that meet your needs, to help flesh out ideas that you have, and to create that wow factor that generates money for your organization. We almost doubled our auction/fund a need/raffle fund raising from the prior year. And on top of all that, Mark is a joy to work with! I highly recommend him.
