Allegria Auctions Auctioneer from Seattle, WA

Auctioneer Jennifer Bolton loves fundraising for nonprofits, schools, and other community organizations. She began her fundraising career as a professional spotter for Dick and Sharon Friel, the legendary team who invented the Paddle Raise / Fund-a-Need direct giving technique. Inspired by their engaging style, she attended the World Wide College of Auctioneering to learn how to "talk fast" and inspire bidding. Since founding Allegria Auctions, Jennifer's team has helped organizations and their supporters raise millions and make a difference in their communities. "Allegria" means happiness - the feeling that comes from helping others. The Love Is Mutual "Jennifer Bolton of Allegria Auctions is a consummate professional. She truly delivers great results, keeping the auction moving at a good pace, while assuring the best possible outcomes! She is a dream to work with and provides the auction committee with invaluable input and expertise." "Jennifer was fabulous to work with for our school's auction. She is professional, friendly, and fun. Our auction was great - and no small part of that was what a great auctioneer we had. Highly recommend." "Jennifer is energetic, enthusiastic, organized, easy going, flexible, and simply put, a dream to work with. Her enthusiasm is contagious - you can tell she loves what she does and her passion spread through the crowd. We nearly doubled our revenue at the auction I recently chaired, mainly due to Jennifer's incredible energy and excellent auctioneering. I will certainly work with her again and again and would recommend her to any charity wanting to increase revenue while adding a lot of fun to your annual event." "Jennifer was the auctioneer at our elementary school's recent charity auction. She rocked! Not only did she do a superb job the evening of the event, she also did her homework ahead of time. She came to our school to learn about us and our mission and offered to help sequence items in our live auction. OUTSTANDING."
