"Thanks to Charity Benefits Unlimited, we were able to raise significantly more auction funds than in past events. The items you all provided generated much enthusiasm and interest among our bidders and they were items we could have never obtained on our own. We will definitely use CBU in the future!"
- Susan Rosener for Mark Grace, former player for the Arizona Diamondbacks and announcer
"The friendly & professional CBU staff was great at our event and went above and beyond to make our guests exceptionally happy. They took care of the entire auction so I could focus on other responsibilities of the night. With the top quality sports & entertainment auction items CBU provided, we were able to raise huge profits for the charity function at Boris Diaw's house (All-Star charity Poker Tournament) during the NBA All-star weekend in Phoenix. Thank you so much!!!"
-Andy Starr, Party Masters Entertainment
