Making Fundraising Fun (and Successful)

Mark invests in founders who “make the molecules move” and that is certainly true in the case of Patrick Desmond of Desmond’s Dynamic Auctions.  A talented auctioneer whose performance can be the difference between a good charity event and a wildly successful one, Pat’s job is to spur guests into action – bidding against one another for the benefit of a good cause.  Pat talks with Mark about the art and the business of auctioneering and shares his journey to becoming the man on the mic delivering the signature auctioneer chant and making fundraising FUN.
