Why Choose CBU?

No matter the size of your event, CBU Auctions® will work with you to exceed your fundraising goals! We will provide items of your choice to your organization on a consignment basis, with no financial obligation or risk on your part. Items that do not sell at your event will be returned to us at no additional cost to you.

CBU Auctions® makes organizing and managing a fundraising event fun, easy and stress-free. Our services can help you take your fundraising event to the next level and are available at no cost to you. As you plan your event, CBU Auctions® offers you complete access to our extensive product collection at true wholesale pricing.

With their experience of working over 150 fundraising events yearly, our fundraising specialists are able to help you strategically choose the best items for your event’s demographic, and can even be present at your event to set up and answer any questions. Professionally designed bid sheets are also offered for all of your auction items, including your organization’s own donated items. After the conclusion of the event, if some bidders choose not to take their winnings with them, items may be picked up from our Scottsdale showroom or can be shipped to the winning bidders for a nominal fee.

Throughout the process of planning and executing your event, there is no cost or risk to you!

Our friendly and knowledgeable fundraising specialists will work with you to determine the auction items best suited for your event, either through our website or in person in our Scottsdale showroom.

From exclusive sports, celebrity, music and entertainment memorabilia, to exotic vacation packages and more, we will provide you with the perfect items for your auction.

Since CBU donates 25% of each opening bid back to your organization, you are guaranteed to raise funds with even one bid. For every dollar bid thereafter, 100% of the funds will go right back to you. Plus, since all items are on consignment, any items that do not sell in your auction are simply returned back to us at no charge!

The opening bid for a particular item is set at $100.
25% of this opening bid is automatically donated back to you ($25).
The item sells for $500.
You will receive $425 for that item and CBU will receive $75 (75% of the starting bid).

Testimonials

Charity Benefits is the best place to find great items that add value to your auctions. We use them for all of our major events. The staff is amazing to work with and the quality cannot be beat!

Alexandra Wadsworth, The ALS Association Arizona Chapter,

Charity Benefits Unlimited was great to work with. They delivered great silent auction items that our guests bid on. Their staff was very easy to work with and always communicated in a timely manner. I highly recommend them for your event.

Colin Sinclair, Fellowship of Christian Athletes,

Charity Benefits made EVERYTHING so easy. They are very accommodating and helpful in providing amazing auction items, super easy set-up and staging of items, and final check-out processes. One can't go wrong working with Charity Benefits!

Cindy Kozacek, North Valley Symphony Orchestra,

CBU provides remarkable, unique and fun items, which as a small non-profit, we could never acquire on our own. This allows us to put on a Silent Auction at our events with high-end, high quality memorabilia every time! Their delightful staff puts it all together, makes recommendations and tailors everything to our needs. Plus, as there is no cost to us, all profits from the sales can go to our charity. They do better, so we can do better.

Julie Ernst, Bad Girls Do Good Things, Inc,

We have associated with Charity Benefits Unlimited ('CBU') for years and will continue to do so for many years to come. Why wouldn't we? Each year, CBU adds value to our charitable events, expands our offerings with high quality, high demand auction items and handles all the details: product selections, delivery, set-up, documentation, tear-down and final accounting. We generate thousands of dollars in valuable revenue to our charitable cause each year - we could not be more thankful for CBU's program. To all the great staff and management at CBU, please know you are most appreciated.

Michael Himelfarb, Leader Dogs Classic, Inc,

I first discovered Charity Benefits Unlimited in October 2012 after having just founded a non-profit, Angels for Athletes. Nearly three years later, I have used them for almost every fundraising event we have hosted. I love their large selection of memorabilia and the staff is always amazing and fun to work with. Thanks CBU for making fundraising easier!

Kara Stuart, Angels for Athletes,

Phoenix Suns Charities has been thrilled with the partnership with Charity Benefits Unlimited! The items they include in their auctions are of the highest quality and presented in a way that make them truly collectable. We have been very impressed with the social media savvy and ‘reach’ of CBU. Suns Charities was able to launch ‘Text-to-Bid’ for the first time to establish our first on-line auction site, as well. In the end, it’s about how they help us raise money for children in need in Arizona, and I am impressed with how they keep focused on our end goal with ideas to raise more for our charities, and also with how timely they are with their pay-outs to the charity. Charity Benefits Unlimited is a great company to work with and the owners are great people doing good things for the community!

Robin Milne, Phoenix Suns Charities,

I just want to say thank you for everything during the past couple months with our Make a Wish Fundraiser! .... I think it made casino night look great! You all have made this process so easy and we look forward to using your auction tables next year as well! ...thank you again for everything!!!

Jackie Sturniolo, Maggiano's Little Italy Scottsdale ,

It was a relief to not have to worry about the auction during the event, but still be able to receive the benefits of having a silent auction. Your company was very easy to work with and is conducted in a very professional manner, which is appreciated.

Brian, Big Brothers Big Sisters of Central Arizona,

Your enthusiasm and eagerness to help made the process of putting on an auction so easy for me. I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart- you truly enjoy what you do and it makes 'charity' events easier when people see that you aren't in it for the money, that you are genuine.

Alisa, Toys for Tots, Flagstaff,

Charity Benefits Unlimited is the best auction company to have running your event. They contributed several outstanding auction items for our Celebrity Martini Mix & Taste, that were tailored specifically to our needs and event atmosphere. Their personalized service didn't stop when our event ended - they went on to raise $2,000 extra dollars for our charity in the weeks following! Charity Benefits Unlimited is our top pick for an auction company. Without a doubt, we will be working with them at our next event!

Cameron, The Leukemia and Lymphoma Society,

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!!!
