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!

A celebration of reading with children

Lucy’s Book Club, launched in May 2009, is a gift from the Lucy Daniels Center for Early Childhood to the community.
