We had a benefit at work and I was asked to volunteer as their auctioneer. It was pretty intimidating but also very exciting. We ended up raising $136k for a great local charity, Rainier Scholars.
I had to get people to vote on the silent auction as well as the live. I also had to inspire people during our "Raise the Paddle" where they had to generously donate their money just because. Probably the hardest part of this was remembering what number we left off on. I kept forgetting what the last number was as you are looking around the room, talking, trying to inspire. Major adrenaline rush!
There was also a photo booth, photo featured above.
