Auctions/Fund Raising Events

More than $2 million dollars has been raised at auctions and fund raising events planned and managed by Preferred Planners over the past 17 years.  We have planned charity auctions, sporting events (bicycle races, bowling parties, walk-a-thons, golf tournaments) as well as a variety of fund raising breakfasts, lunches and dinners.  These events are part of a successful fund raising plan and have brought in much needed revenue to local non-profits.
