An Intimate Evening with Sylvester Stallone
Their item selection was spot-on for our crowd. We had the perfect mix of price points and unique offerings. You guys were awesome!
Thanks for the great job. You had awesome items.
Thank you for coming out with your team on Saturday and helping to make the event a success!
We used AFGI for both our in-person gala and an online follow-up auction. Their flexibility and guidance were incredible.
Having you and your team there really elevated the entire evening. We raised $18,500.
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.
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.
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!
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.
This was our first time using a professional auctioneer, and now we’ll never go without. AFGI made the entire process seamless.
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.
Thank you for bringing our event up a notch with your team’s professionalism!
Thank you very much for your prompt reports and thank you for a job well-done.
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!

Thank you very much for all of your help. Its always a pleasure having you guys come down.
From the first meeting to final reporting, AFGI was professional, responsive, and truly invested in our success.
Wow, you guys are amazing to say the least. Thank you very much!
Their ability to move the room during the Fund-a-Need was nothing short of inspiring. People were crying and giving generously.
Ryan is quick to respond and works with you to make your auction a success. Items are high quality and unique as well.
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!
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!
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!
