On a Personal Note:

The most frequently asked question

that I hear is, “Why did you become a  fundraising auctioneer?” 

I believe that I was led into this unique field first and foremost, because of my passion and commitment to making a difference.

Back when I was a teenager,

I decided to help young adolescent girls who decided to lead a life of prostitution. When I was 14 to the age of 17, I rescued over 100 girls from sex slavery. This passion to help others early on in life has fueled my enthusiasm to continue this compassion into my adulthood.

I have had the utmost privilege over a course of many years, to share my life story of hardships & triumphs to a hundreds of  audiences.

This, I believe, has paved the way for me to become a successful fundraising auctioneer encouraging audiences of all types of backgrounds and demographics, to open up their hearts and their pocket-books to make a  DIFFERENCE  in the lives of others.

My favorite quote,  from the late Erma Bombeck...

“When I stand before God at the end of

my life, I would hope that I would not have a single bit of talent left and I could say, “I used everything you gave me.”

Committed to making a difference,

Karen
