Who is that Kilted Man?
Hi, I’m Matt Roben - AKA The Kilted Auctioneer - and I’ve spent my life entertaining people on stage - from theater to circus - from cruise ships to operas. One night, while drooling as I fell asleep for the third time at a fundraising event, it hit me - these events don’t have to be a sleeping pill - I looked around and saw my dazed expression mirrored across the room!
People were BORED!!! They craved something ELSE - something out of the box - something that they could tell their friends about. And it was at that moment that the mighty Kilted Auctioneer was born!
The Off-KILTer Approach to FUNraising!
A FUNraising event is kind of like Las Vegas (bear with me...)
-
Great food and drink
-
Great ambience
-
Great entertainment
Suddenly you find yourself dancing on tables, doing karaoke, and spending WAY more than you bargained for!
Why not bring this excitement to your next fundraiser?
Together, we’ll plan an evening of high stakes and high rewards where people will lovingly donate
more than they planned to your worthy cause. (And joyfully remember it the next day…!)
