Spotlight on Benefit Auctions

Do you have a keen interest in benefit auctions and fundraisers?  We do too because that’s our business!  We’re interested in supporting every organization and auctioneer involved in fundraisers and benefit auctions.  One way we actively support our community is by providing this web site that lists all known fundraising and benefit auction events throughout the Austin Texas area.  Another way that we give back, is by donating our time to provide local non-profits with a comprehensive analysis of their silent auction events indicating opportunity areas to increase results.

Spotlight Benefit Auctions is a full service benefit auction company licensed in North Carolina, Virginia and Texas.  Our Austin benefit auction specialists help maximize your fund-raising profits with dynamic, fun events that engage the community.  Three team members have earned the distinctive certification of BAS (Benefit Auction Specialist) from the National Auctioneer Association.  Our services are tailored to meet your specific needs and include the following:
