Thanks to the many non-profits that have taken part in our 1st year of advertising your Fundraising Events on our website. 

There have been many unique venues that have raised funds for many deserving organizations. We have experienced casinos, boutiques and fashion shows, Big Galas, small personal jazz events, Dogs, motorcycles, horses, cats…but the people and their causes are the most special.

One avenue that has not been challenged is the auctioning of Real Estate to benefit your charity.  If you know of a donation of Land, Homes, Cars, etc that could provide funds to your cause, we can assist you.  Review this idea with your board, your church, your friends and family and see what happens.  Check out our website at www.triangleestateservices.com

Spotlight Benefit Auctions is available to assist you with your event through Consulting, Event Planning, providing Auctioneers for the Live or  Silent Auction. 

Give me a call at 919-454-5150 or e-mail me direct at susan@spotlightbenefitauctions.com

Check out some of the excitement that has happened over the past year!

Band Together NC annual charity concert, this year headlined by Michael Franti & Spearhead and benefitting StepUP Ministry. 6 PM – 11 PM outside Lincoln Theatre, 126 E. Cabarrus St., Raleigh, 27601.

Enjoy the funky and jazzy sounds of Michael Franti & Spearhead as the headlining act at this year’s Band Together 10th annual charity concert held at the Lincoln Theatre in downtown Raleigh on May 22.

The band is coming off of a successful tour with John Mayer and is known for energetic live shows and as advocates for peace and social justice. Also performing is American Idol finalist Anoop Desai; London-based band One eskimO that toured with Tori Amos; Chapel Hill’s The Old Ceremony; and a late-night after-show party with Holy Ghost Tent Revival, an ensemble from Greensboro that melds brass, banjo, guitar, bass, drums and keyboard to create joyous, toe-tapping music.

Band Together NC is a nonprofit organization that uses musical events to raise funds and awareness for select Triangle charities. Proceeds from this year’s event will benefit StepUP Ministry, an interfaith nonprofit organization that teaches low-income and homeless people to become self-sufficient.

“This event is shaping up to be our biggest and best ever,” said Danny Rosin, president and co-founder of Band Together. “We have over 100 sponsors and are hoping to draw more than 3,500 attendees to the event to enjoy great music, a silent auction, raffle and, more importantly, do something powerful for the community.”

More than $300,000 has been raised so far this year, with Band Together generating $235,000 in pledges, StepUP matching with an additional $135,000 and various companies providing $79,000 in in-kind donations. Presenting sponsors for 2010 are Cargill, Hosted Solutions, S&A Cherokee and the A.J. Fletcher Foundation.
