Serving With Pride
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!
Thank you and your team for all of your help!
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.
Thanks for the great job. You had awesome items.
This was our first time using a professional auctioneer, and now we’ll never go without. AFGI made the entire process seamless.
Wow, you guys are amazing to say the least. Thank you very much!
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!
Thank you for coming out with your team on Saturday and helping to make the event a success!
AFGI isn’t just an auction service—they’re true fundraising partners. Their expertise took our event to the next level.
Their ability to move the room during the Fund-a-Need was nothing short of inspiring. People were crying and giving generously.
We used AFGI for both our in-person gala and an online follow-up auction. Their flexibility and guidance were incredible.
Thank you very much for your prompt reports and thank you for a job well-done.
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.
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!
From the first meeting to final reporting, AFGI was professional, responsive, and truly invested in our success.
Having you and your team there really elevated the entire evening. We raised $18,500.
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 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 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!
Thank you very much for all of your help. Its always a pleasure having you guys come down.
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.
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
Ryan is quick to respond and works with you to make your auction a success. Items are high quality and unique as well.
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!
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!
AFGI Proudly Supports the Serving With Pride Gala with Silent Auction Services
AFGI was honoured to provide professional silent auction services for the Serving With Pride Gala and Awards Night, a landmark event commemorating the 50th anniversary of the “Brunswick Four.” This historic moment in Canadian LGBTQ+ rights was a defining act of courage, and AFGI was proud to support such an impactful evening dedicated to advocacy, remembrance, and community resilience.
Held in recognition of equality and progress within Canada’s policing and 2SLGBTQI+ communities, the event featured a moving keynote by Retired Deputy Chief James Young of the Orlando Police Department. His powerful reflection on leadership, identity, and the tragic Pulse Nightclub shooting added profound depth to the gala. AFGI’s silent auction offering was designed to match the gravity and purpose of the evening—raising critical funds through carefully curated auction items that resonated with attendees and supported Serving With Pride’s mission.
Elevating Fundraising Through Purpose-Driven Silent Auctions
As Canada’s trusted partner in charity auction services, AFGI brought over 45 years of experience in silent, live, and online fundraising auctions to the gala. From setup to final bid, AFGI handled the entire process—sourcing impactful items, creating professional displays, and managing logistics to ensure a seamless experience. The silent auction was not only a fundraising success, but also an extension of the evening’s message: creating spaces of pride, inclusion, and opportunity.
