THE ORIGINAL AUCTION DIVA
About us . . .
In recent years, our business model at The Auction Divas has evolved beyond conducting solely live and virtual auctions to include performing live, on-stage crowdfunding activities at concerts, sporting events, and association gatherings.
To better represent our expanded services and offerings today, we've introduced the Live Event Fundraising Brand under The Auction Divas®, LLC Brand. This new focus emphasizes our expertise in large event fundraising, helping organizations maximize their impact through engaging live fundraising experiences.
Music and Sports
aising money during concerts and sporting events serves as effective marketing and promotional activities. By highlighting charitable efforts and community engagement, musicians and teams can generate buzz for future tours, albums, games, and special projects. This not only enhances their public image but also builds stronger connections with fans who appreciate their commitment to social responsibility.
Motorcycle Charity Rides
In addition to peer-to-peer and event registrations, Digital Wallet Fundraising can significantly expand an event's revenue by engaging more spectators, friends, and family to support and contribute. This approach leverages digital platforms to make giving easy and accessible, thereby increasing participation and donations from a broader audience base.

Stand up and take a bow, Shelly!! What a marvelous job you did at the Colorado Tennis Awards Event a couple of weeks ago! You stepped up on that stage, took control and rocked the house!
