give their best.
The Bidding Group provides expert fundraising and charity event consulting, an engaging auctioneer, and proven results. Christopher J. Hanke and the goodwill bandits at The Bidding Group closely collaborate with your team to customize a plan that is exactly what you need.
That means more than just providing an auctioneer. We develop winning strategies to increase your financial returns — keeping your guests entertained and engaged, helping you raise more money year after year.
You Can
Trust.
Our team has 20+ years in fundraising and has worked with organizations across multiple fields — in education, health and medicine, arts, and social services — raising over $100,000,000 to date.
When you combine years on stage with deep nonprofit experience, you create a team that sees fundraising differently — one that understands the pressure of meeting an entire year's goal in a single night.
Christopher J. Hanke is an actor, writer, host, and auctioneer whose career spans Broadway, television, and the nonprofit world. His years commanding stages — from Broadway houses to TV sets — gave him an instinct for reading a room that no classroom can teach. Today, he channels that energy into something equally meaningful: helping organizations raise the funds they need to do extraordinary work.
Services.
Everything you need to run a world-class fundraising event — under one roof, led by one team.
