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.

“The Krispy Kreme Challenge is a fun way to raise money for a good cause,” says Cindy Stranad, APR, Articulon principal and founder. “We are proud to sponsor the event and to support the North Carolina Children’s Hospital.”

“We are thankful for the community’s continued support of our event,” says Rebekah Jewell, North Carolina State University Park Scholar and public relations co-chair for the Krispy Kreme Challenge. “Without the contributions of our sponsors, our event would not be able to continue to grow as it has over the last seven years.”

To complete the Krispy Kreme Challenge, competitors begin at the N.C. State Bell Tower, run two miles to the Krispy Kreme store on Peace Street, eat a dozen glazed doughnuts, and then run two miles back to the Bell Tower—all in under one hour. The event is also open to casual runners, who are not required to eat the doughnuts, and to supporters who want to make a donation.
