Hawaii’s Senior Benefit Auctioneer: Raise More at Your Gala, Statewide and on the West Coast! Planning a gala, benefit dinner, or fundraiser? I’m Joe “Surfer Joe” Teipel, Hawaii’s senior charity auctioneer with 42 years on the gavel. I run your live auction and paddle raise, MC the evening, coach your committee beforehand, and source or supply high-appeal auction packages. Goal: your event nets more than it did last year. Call or email for a free auction assessment and proposal. Is your gala leaving money on the table? Most benefit auctions lose revenue in the same places: too many lots, weak packages, a rushed paddle raise, and no plan for the room. I fix those. What you get from one team: Top-dollar auctioneering for the live auction and paddle raise / fund-a-need A polished, entertaining MC so the program flows Pre-event consulting on item selection, lot order, timing, and bid strategy Live packages sourced for you, plus exclusive packages I bring! Why charities hire me: I bring seriousness about your mission, plus enough humor and aloha that guests enjoy giving. My aim is that the added revenue more than covers my fee. Where: all Hawaiian islands. Clients also fly me to California and Guam. Free Auction Assessment + Proposal. 15 minutes, no obligation. I’ll show you where your auction is likely leaving money and what a stronger program looks like. ===================================================================== What others are saying: Ms. Stephanie Kirkham, Director of Advancement at MauiPreparatoryAcademy: "SurferJoe helped us raise $250.000.00 at our live auction/raise the paddle, FAR more than the prior year!" =========================================================================== Melissa Rabideau, ExecAsstTotheVP/DevelopmentDirector, GrassrootInstituteofHawaii: "Joe emceed and auctioneered for a gala hosted by the nonprofit organization that I work for. This was our first time ever hosting an auction and Joe helped make this a huge success for us. We had a humble goal of approximately $10,000 that we would raise and with Joe's advice and expertise, we raised $80,000! He was professional, kind and highly engaging. Our audience loved him, having nothing but excellent things to say about him after our event. I absolutely want to work with him again in the future. His long-time experience in the community, his amazing reputation and all the wisdom he offered leading up to our event made us more successful. I can't recommend Surfer Joe enough!"
