Coastal Auction Group Helps Raise over $70,000 for Two Local Charities

Coastal Auction Group lent their talents to two local charities this past week. On Thursday, November 18, the Coastal auction team was on hand at a charity wine tasting and auction benefitting the Taylor Haugen Foundation. The packed event was held at the world famous Caliza Pool at Alys Beach, FL and featured hors d’oeuvres from several local restaurants each paired with a different wine. Live auction items included a dinner for 8 prepared in your home from Dominic Damiano of Fat Clemenza’s restaurant, signed sports memorabilia, wine and an autographed guitar from the All American Rejects who stopped by and presented the guitar in person.

Two days later on Saturday, November 20, Coastal Auction Group took over the Catwalk at Community Walton’s Catwalk 211 fundraiser. 2-1-1 is an easy to remember telephone number connecting people with important community services. The implementation of 2-1-1, managed through local United Way agencies, connects local social service and information referral agencies to people in need. The first year event drew an impressive crowd to the ballroom at the Embassy Suites in Miramar Beach, FL. The organizers put together an impressive list of auction items that included trips to Whistler, British Columbia; New York; Las Vegas; Tuscany, Italy; The Masters Golf Tournament and the 2011 Super Bowl.

Every year, the Coastal Auction Group volunteers their time and efforts to charitable causes and events. More and more non-profit agencies are realizing that seeking the talents of professional auctioneers can greatly increase the enthusiasm and prices achieved for auction items sold at fundraising events.
