About Vendor 

Learn more about this vendor for your event.

Capital Benefit Auctions helps Washington, DC-area nonprofits raise more money through live auctions, paddle raises, and fund-a-need strategy. Led by Karen Wrege, CBA brings more than a decade of benefit auction experience to galas, school auctions, conservation events, community fundraisers, and mission-driven celebrations across DC, Maryland, and Northern Virginia. We do more than call bids. We help your team shape the revenue strategy, clarify the run of show, sequence live auction items, prepare the paddle raise, and keep donors connected to the mission in the room. CBA has helped local nonprofits raise tens of millions of dollars, including high-energy paddle raises, record-setting live auction moments, and mission appeals that give donors a clear reason to raise their paddles. If your organization is planning a gala, benefit auction, school fundraiser, or fund-a-need in the greater Washington, DC region, request a quote to schedule a consultation.

Review by Dan L.

Fundraiser•Reviewed on May 6, 2019•From Washington, DC

Karen came to us when we were in a pinch and handled our gala with extreme professionalism and grace. She was in constant contact, prepared appropriately, asked all the right questions and on game day, knocked it out of the park. Karen helped us reach our fundraising goals for our live auction and appeal. I would highly recommend her!!

Capital Benefit Auctions:

Thanks Dan, It was great working with you!

Fundraiser•Reviewed on May 7, 2019•From Washington, DC

I hired Karen at the last moment and with little prep she took the event on like a champ. Great energy and great results. Definitely a rehire!

Review by LeeAnn P.

Corporate Function•Reviewed on May 23, 2019•From Washington, DC

She did not have ideal conditions with half the crowd being outside the room where the auction took place but she maximized the room as much as was humanly possible and helped us hit our goal for the event.

Capital Benefit Auctions:

Thanks! It was great to work with you!
