It's all about the e's
Energy, Enthusiasm, Entertainment, Engagement and Passion

Education / Training
We like to say “It’s all about the E’s” at Everything Gala. Ok, passion doesn’t start with “E”, but it’s such a great word! And that’s what we are passionate about-Fundraising. We want to make sure your donors have a great evening. When they leave with smiles on their faces, informed about the mission and their hearts full, (and your fundraising goals surpassed) then we’ve done our job.
Whether you’re a non-profit looking for an auctioneer or an auctioneer needing information to support your client, Everything Gala is here to provide you with resources. Welcome to Everything Gala, where we empower your fundraising efforts with proven strategies and expert guidance.
Education
Everything Gala has the goal of making your event a success. Our team of experienced professionals will guide you through the process of not only hitting your goals, but surpassing them.
Whether you’re planning your first gala or looking to refine a well-established event, our expert team provides insights, strategies, and tools you need to maximize your impact with event consulting and coaching.
As an added bonus, Everything Gala can assist you with Event Planning. We encourage you to reach out to find out more about the services available. We are also happy to partner with your Professional Event Planner.
Having the right items in your auction lineup is critical to maximizing revenue. We’ll share the strategy for what items you need, what order to sell them and what price to start them. We’ll also share which items NOT to sell and where to place them.
This is the secret sauce you don’t want to miss. Our TEAM doesn’t “spot bids”, we generate them! We engage the entire crowd, not just the bidders. It creates a fun evening for everyone and makes the night memorable.
There’s a true method to a successful Fund A Need (also called Mission Moment, Special Appeal, Paddle Raise). We’ll help you create that perfect setup to inspire your donors to not only give, but to give generously. And then how to have an exciting finale!
Covid created the need for virtual events, but it created an opportunity that we were able to take advantage of. There is still a place for virtual and hybrid events and we can help you strategize to see if they are right for you.
It’s important to align yourself with vendors that are reliable and have great reputations. From software to consignment, we can share solutions. Trustworthy partners minimize risks, streamline operations, and foster long-term growth through collaborative success.
We provide training for your board, your committee and your volunteers upon request. We help you to get the RIGHT people in the seats that will help you surpass your goals.

"We were thrilled to be a part of the Ronald McDonald House Charity event this evening. It is such a worthy charity, but what made giving even better was Shannon Eason & her enthusiastic team, who brought an energy to the event that was both amazing, inspiring and classy. We were proud to be a part of their magic tonight!"

"Shannon, (our award-winning auctioneer) has become a tremendous partner for KC Shepherd’s Center’s events. Last year we tripled our income over the precious year. Shannon is amazing on stage and on camera. She truly gets to know and care about the mission of each organization. You can’t go wrong hiring Raising Paddles for your auction team. They provide a lot more than a ‘night of’ auctioneer. I won’t work with any other team."

"Shannon Eason brings a level of professionalism and expertise that is truly unmatched. Shannon’s years of experience are evident in every detail—she reads the room effortlessly, takes charge, and sets the tone for an incredible night of impact. Shannon’s pre-preparation is unparalleled; she is deeply invested in ensuring success. In the lead-up to the event, she provides concise, clear, process-driven steps to ensure she has what she needs. Guides you to ensure your Run of Show flows and ensures the auction parameters are set. Her team reflects that same commitment—well-prepared, pragmatic, and focused. This is the fourth year World Bicycle Relief has relied on Shannon Eason. They are the gold standard. I cannot recommend them highly enough!"

"Shannon was absolutely amazing as our auctioneer. She had the energy and enthusiasm you want when you are trying to raise money, and she also has heart. It was obvious she had done her homework and really knew all about our organization. She was able to personalize each level of giving so guests knew exactly how their dollars could help. By far, she is the best we have worked with and hope to work together in the future."

"Shannon was awesome, she turned our fundraising event into a day of fun, engaging and exciting while raising money. She was able to do magic and bring $3,400.00 from one signed jersey. Can’t wait for our next event with Shannon."

"...Shannon has made our last two auctions seamless from the stage, but I know how much work is put into the night plus all the planning meetings they set with you before the event ever happens. We’ve received many compliments on their work, and we know they have helped increase the amount of funds raised with their expertise! Other than the venue, they’re the first call I make when we have an auction date set – we couldn’t do it without them. Thank you guys!"

"I just want to say thank you so much for doing an AMAZING job at Wish Ball! Despite not knowing what we could expect and having horrible audio issues, it turned out great. We are sitting at just under $130k....not bad for a first-year event, thrown together in 6 months, in a market where we haven't had a presence in over a decade. And best of all - the Fund-A-Wish portion was the biggest money maker! That just feels good. Thank you for all your expertise, guidance and passion to make Wish Ball successful, I am truly, truly grateful! "
