BENEFIT AUCTIONS

HELPING ORGANIZATIONS RAISE MILLIONS OF DOLLARS FOR THEIR CAUSES…

An Auctioneer for over 35 years, ThreeSixty President, Jeff Tanenbaum, has dropped the gavel over 250,000 times in his career, selling over $500 Million of property at auction. Jeff is a leader and innovator in both the charity and commercial auction industries, having provided consulting and advisory services to clients ranging from the Boys & Girls Clubs of America to Apple Computer. Through his benefit auction division, Rock the Gavel, Jeff applies his marketing and operations savvy and his keen sense for what motivates people to bid to help local and national organizations to raise millions of dollars for their causes.

Whether inspiring philanthropic support from an audience of 500 or tactfully encouraging competitive bidding on a million-dollar piece of machinery, Jeff enjoys both the behind the scenes development of his projects and the face-to-face interactions with a room full of engaged bidders.

“Thank you for your expertise, passion and professionalism which helped make our 2002 Spring Fling black-tie fundraiser the most successful one yet. We raised a net profit of $210,000, a record for the Helen Woodward Animal Center.

One of the highlights of our evening was the live auction. Not only were you entertaining, but you kept the bidding lively and competitive, raising much more than anticipated. Your consultations before and after provided invaluable advice and ideas which we will continue to implement year after year. The committee voted unanimously to hire you again.”
