Embracing the Moment – A practical guide for executing a virtual fundraising auction
These are unprecedented times but it doesn’t mean you have to cancel your event. Embrace the moment and go virtual with your auction. It sounds scary, but it doesn’t have to be.
Virtual events are not new and you are likely already working with vendors that have the expertise you need to execute a virtual auction for your organization.
