TESTIMONIALS
"When the night of our gala fundraiser came, I was so nervous! So much was riding on our auction if Home Away was to stay strong. Our goal was to raise at least $30,000 (what we had raised the year before), but instead when Chad got up on stage, it was like magic- people opened their hearts (and checkbooks!). Chad raised over $90,000 (when you include his Raise the Paddle - cash contributions). I'm sure there are lots of auctioneers out there, but Chad has a style and intensity that is one in a million!"

"Chad Carvey is a master auctioneer. His powerful enthusiasm and ability to get a crowd excited means that crowds bid higher and higher in no time! Last year, I hired Chad as our auctioneer at my school Dinner and Auction. His auctioneering resulted in a 100% increase in bids over previous years. I highly recommend Chad !"
