Elissa Brown- Founder Polite Tumor "Debbie Scheer is hands down the most dynamic empathetic, impactful, and engaging auctioneer and MC there is! We have literally changed the date of our fundraiser for the opportunity to work together, that is how critical she is to the success of our biggest night of the year.Debbie knows when to push, when to pull back, and always keeps the audience comfortable and at ease during a paddle raise.Beyond the event, Debbie is a joy to work with. I look forward to our phone calls, appreciate her strategic direction, and always walk away with at least a few laughs. Debbie, thank you for being such a bright light for Polite Tumor!” 

Christopher La Fleur- Colorado Health Network  "Debbie Scheer is nothing if not a consummate professional with an innate sense for fundraising and people. We have worked together more than half a dozen times on various fundraising events in Colorado, and in that time I have witnessed an auctioneer and human full of expertise, compassion and genuine devotion to the communities she serves. Her advice and guiding hand, extensive knowledge base, and creativity drive giving--even in challenging fundraising and nonprofit environments. Her ability to read the room and adapt to dynamics in the moment are indispensable. She approaches her work with both seriousness and levity, connecting with guests and donors on a human level. In short, missing the opportunity to hire her for your next event is a grave mistake. She will take your organization to new heights and exceed your expectations in every way.”  

Darin Valdez- Executive Director CAIR (Colorado Artists in Recovery) "Debbie Scheer is an absolute force of nature! She recently emceed our Annual Winter Fundraiser for Colorado Artists in Recovery, and I cannot say enough about her incredible talent, professionalism, and personal touch. From the very beginning, Debbie went above and beyond to ensure the event's success. She met with me beforehand to walk through every detail of the evening, helping to relieve so much of the stress that comes with organizing a major fundraiser. Her calm, confident guidance was invaluable, and she made me feel completely supported throughout the entire process.

"On the night of the event, Debbie's energy, humor, and heartfelt presence brought the room to life. She engaged the audience effortlessly and created an atmosphere of warmth and excitement that perfectly aligned with our mission. And during the Paddle Raise, her expertise shone brightly as she inspired a record-breaking amount of donations! Debbie has a unique gift for connecting with people, and her ability to bring joy and meaning to the event left a lasting impression on everyone in attendance. I cannot recommend Debbie Scheer enough – she is a true gem, and we are beyond grateful for her incredible contributions to our fundraiser! Thank you, Debbie!"  

Chelsea Manley- Event Manager Food Bank of the Rockies "As the Event Manager for Food Bank of the Rockies, I had the pleasure of working with Debbie, who served as the emcee and auctioneer for our annual Farm-to-Table fundraiser at the Denver Botanic Gardens. Her performance was nothing short of exceptional. From the outset, Debbie was a joy to collaborate with, meeting with our team multiple times prior to the event to offer valuable insights on the run-of-show and scripting. She thoroughly reviewed our script in advance, offering thoughtful revisions that made the program flow more naturally. With over eight years of experience in nonprofit events, I was particularly impressed by her innovative advice regarding paddle raise levels and strategy—recommendations I had never encountered before, yet which proved highly successful, significantly increasing our fundraising results. Debbie truly connected with our audience, to the extent that several attendees inquired about hiring her for their own events. Our board members couldn't stop praising her during our post-event debrief. I wholeheartedly recommend Debbie for any event; she is an absolute asset.”  

Shannon Boltz Development Director Safe House Denver  "Debbie Scheer is the best auctioneer I have ever worked with in over 15 years of fundraising. Not only does she bring passion and professionalism to the table, she brings a wonderful sense of community to our events. This results in our guests feeling GREAT about donating and connecting to our mission in a way that fundraisers can only dream about. Debbie doesn't use guilt-tactics or pressure to raise funds - she learns about your cause and connects to it in order to help the audience connect. It is truly remarkable to watch and our guests compliment her year-in and year-out. On the "back end", Debbie is my go-to secret weapon. Her expertise and knowledge are invaluable. She is organized and SMART about fundraising, keeping up with trends and quick to share new ideas. When we had a bit of a live auction emergency this year, she was the first person I called. With her connections and ideas, we turned what could have been a disaster, into our most successful live auction in my organization's history. And not once did I feel pressured to do it "her way" - I was always in the lead, she just offered ideas and suggestions. Run, don't walk, to hire Debbie as your host, emcee, or auctioneer. She is worth every penny (and fun to work with, too)”
