  • Black Tie and Tales takes you behind the scenes of the wonderful world of fundraising auctions to tell tales of triumph and tragedy. Your hosts Greg "Q" Quiroga and Devon "Devo" Bell have been friends for more than 43 years, and have been conducting charity auctions for over 30 years between them. They've seen some stuff, and they want to share it with you. Black Tie and Tales takes a storytelling approach to discussing fundraising auctions, and focuses primarily on reliving the moments that make benefit auctions so memorable - the good, bad, and downright terrifying. What are the six most terrifying words in fundraising? How does a crowd react when someone in the audience dies? Which celebrities are the biggest pains in the butt to work with? Ok, we probably won't address that last one head-on because we don't want to get sued, but we'll spill as much tea as we can. Brought to you by Sojourn Ventures (https://www.sojournventurestravel.com) and Greater Giving (https://www.greatergiving.com), take a peek behind the curtain of the wonderful world of fundraising auctions with two auctioneers who have seen it all. https://www.BlackTieandTales.com

  • Back to School with Michelle Holman of Greater Giving
    Sep 3 2024

    School crowds are some of the hardest partying crowds in fundraising auctions. And in this episode of Black Tie and Tales, fundraising auctioneers Greg Quiroga and Devon Bell are joined by Michelle Holman of Greater Giving to relive some of their most memorable school auction stories.

    From stealing the golf carts at a country club to calling into question the auctioneer's ethics while onstage, once they get a sitter and leave the house, parents seem to take partying to another level.

  • The Great Outdoors
    Aug 15 2024

    The cheese melted, no-one could see the crowd from the stage, and there was a threat of rain: hosting an event outdoors presents a slew of challenges for a fundraising auction. But the payoff is epic when it all goes well!

    In this episode of Black Tie and Tales, fundraising auctioneers Greg Quiroga and Devon Bell take it outside with stories of events held under the stars (or under the rain clouds, in some cases). They also share stories of when being outside was absolutely amazing: the fresh air, the views, the ambiance...this episode of Black Tie and Tales has equal parts triumph and tragedy.
