PictureFemale Fundraising Auctioneer Abra Annes performs Sierra Club Live Auction
Abra is an exceptional Charity Auctioneer who brings a sense of play and fun to her work. These qualities greatly complement her deep professionalism. First and foremost, Abra loves what she does and it definitely comes through in her work. Over the past three years, she has taken our organization from a solid, but flatlined auction in terms of revenue generated, to a robust, fun, and enthusiastic event which brings our community together. From the planning through the night of the event, Abra shows that she has the skills to help us execute a fundraiser that reflects the personality of our community in order to be successful.                      -Wendy. Fundraising Director in  Berkley. CA

Abra is a phenomenal fundraiser. She completely understood the cause of our organization and was able to express that to the entire room. During the fund-a-need portion of our auction, the room was completely silent - she had absolutely everyone's attention and was able to double the amount that we raised in previous years. After the auction, I had people coming up to me asking if Abra was on our staff because she was able to convey our message so clearly. In addition to being a fabulous fundraising auctioneer, she was also a pleasure to work with. She researched our organization without our prompting, and adopted the rhetoric we use and completely understood our mission and our need.    -Kaley, Auction Coordinator in San Francisco, CA

Abra Annes brings fun to the fundraiser! Our guests were completely engaged and entertained while raising their paddles for big money! A shining difference with Abra from other auctioneers is the time she spends in the months leading up to the auction. She brainstormed creative auction items, suggested ways to package items to make them more valuable, and took the time to do her own research to understand what made each package a can't miss opportunity for our guests.

Abra, I know you do a zillion of these things, but I have to tell you how impressed I am with the homework you did and your involvement with our planning.  You probably got a sense of my passion for what we’re doing and I thank you for helping make it a reality.  This first event for us was, by all accounts, a resounding success and you as our Fundraising Auctioneer certainly played a major role in the process.  I am so looking forward to working with you again.                                                             Mitch, Ohio

Abra was the Charity Auctioneer at our organizations first Gala this past year. Hiring her was the best investment we made for the success of our night. Abra has tons of energy, the crowd loved her and she really helped get those paddles up!

I really could not be any happier. The guests raved about Abra. I would request her again in a heartbeat. Because of her, I really got to be a guest at the event…relaxed, enjoying, and not stressed out at all.                                                         -Lori, Mill Valley, CA

​You were amazing! Oh my gosh thank you! Our crowd loved you. Several people (who go to many events) told us this was the best gala they've been to, and it was because of you as our Fundraising Auctioneer. Thank you so much. We would love to work with you again. You really made our event.                                                                                                                        Angelina, San Francisco
It is absolutely amazing to me how Abra gets the audience motivated and uses a bit of ingenuity and pizazz to spark interest in auction items.  She really knows how to read the crowd and encourage bidding wars, all while remaining respectful and thoughtful. Highly recommend her as a Charity Auctioneer!                                                                                                                                                                               - Sam, San Jose, CA
