Canadian Choice Awards
Thank you so much for all your work on Sunday! And that of your team. It was wonderful working with you! Our goal was to raise $733,000 and we raised…$850,000! The Live Auction was the most successful ever – it went off so smoothly. Everyone loved it!
We would love for you to return this year as our auctioneer… you did such a wonderful job last year – so we’d like to keep to a winning formula!
Thank you for coming out with your team on Saturday and helping to make the event a success!
Their product catalogue was both unique and high-quality that really got our guests excited. The whole process felt smooth and stress-free, and our guests were left with great prizes at the end!
Super friendly, organized and prompt response to questions. The bidding sheets were all clear and easy to read – very professional. The person who was there was also very nice and professional.
I would highly recommend AFGI to anyone looking to raise funds at their event—regardless of the cause. Thank you again to the entire AFGI team for a seamless and impactful experience!
Wow, you guys are amazing to say the least. Thank you very much!
Thanks for the great job. You had awesome items.
Thank you and your team for all of your help!
We’ve used AFGI three years in a row and each year they exceed expectations. Our donors now look forward to the auction as the highlight of the night
Thank you Allen. You and your son were fantastic and made a big difference to our auction. I hope we can work together again soon!
Their ability to move the room during the Fund-a-Need was nothing short of inspiring. People were crying and giving generously.
From the first meeting to final reporting, AFGI was professional, responsive, and truly invested in our success.
This was our first time using a professional auctioneer, and now we’ll never go without. AFGI made the entire process seamless.
Ryan and his team helped us out tremendously for our Impact Gala. From their expertise and experience they helped us fundraise to continue to support. Excited to work with them in the future!
Thank you very much for your prompt reports and thank you for a job well-done.
Thank you very much for all of your help. Its always a pleasure having you guys come down.
Thank you so much for your wonderful efforts yesterday. You both did a spectacular job, everyone was very impressed and happy with the funds raised.
We used AFGI for both our in-person gala and an online follow-up auction. Their flexibility and guidance were incredible.
I was pleased with your staff; they were very professional. It was good that they ran everything very independently as I was busy dealing with other challenges.
Ryan is quick to respond and works with you to make your auction a success. Items are high quality and unique as well.
Thanks so much again for participating in our event the way you do. We set a budget of $100k between the live and silent auction and raised over $150k.
AFGI isn’t just an auction service—they’re true fundraising partners. Their expertise took our event to the next level.
Having you and your team there really elevated the entire evening. We raised $18,500.
Their item selection was spot-on for our crowd. We had the perfect mix of price points and unique offerings. You guys were awesome!
Thank you for bringing our event up a notch with your team’s professionalism!
