About us

We have been involved with fundraising since 1971. Our main efforts have been directed towards raising funds through our silent art auction programs. We have raised funds for the Heart Association, Cancer care and their chapters, Boy Scouts of America, athletic associations, the Archdiochese of Minn. and numerous high school booster clubs. Because of ongoing technology and timing we have reentered the fundraising field. We are now utilizing electronic bidding and have developed an online auction. This allows members of your organization to bid in the privacy of their homes. (Similar to our silent art auction which has had overwhelming success.) The auction will provide a variety of products and services during the 7 days of the auction without the high pressure usually associated with a verbal auctioneer.

During the past 30 years we have been involved in many businesses related to general merchandising, services, entertainment and travel utilizing consumer shows, manufacturing, distribution of custom furniture, investment real estate, and other enterprises.

This experience affords us the opportunity to secure a large variety of products and services for your fundraising auction. Our experience will also offer the most professional job in representing your organization and its members.

We pride ourselves in building strong relationships with your organization and fulfilling your fundraising objectives. At this point John Mechwart will finalize any details pertaining to the auction.

Have Fundraising Auctions Online take charge of or add to your fundraising event and relax in confidence with our 33 years of experience in creating events that work.
