Shownotes

The most valuable commodity at any fundraising gala is also the easiest to take for granted: time. Use your attendees' time wisely, and they will reward you with their participation. But waste their time, and well...

In this episode of Black Tie and Tales, Stellar Fundraising auctioneers Devon Bell and Greg Quiroga explore what happens when "Time Keeps on Slipping..." From a 90-minute murder mystery dinner theater performance during a gala, to a fund-a-need that starts after 11pm, this episode of Black Tie and Tales won't have you checking your watch and looking for the nearest exit.

Presented by Stellar Fundraising Auctions (http://www.stellarsf.com) and brought to you by Sojourn Ventures: boutique travel experiences designed to elevate fundraising: https://www.sojournventurestravel.com/

And by Gala Toolbox: https://www.galatoolbox.com - a practical resource hub for nonprofit staff and board members who plan fundraising events: use code "STELLAR" for 25% off!
