"Joanna Blaney, in conjunction with Southwest Benefit Auctions, is profoundly creative and knows her business! She just seems to have what it takes to launch forward any idea in the most creative way. She is a good listener and generous in sharing information and ideas. I know Joanna to be innovative, kind, and considerate in all that she does. She has done so much for me in getting my auctions to run very effectively and efficiently. When she is called upon she has the ability to get things done in a timely manner and she does it with a big loving heart. She will give you 101% and I feel more than fortunate to know her. I wouldn't hesitate recommending her services to anyone."

"It was a pleasure working with Southwest Benefit Auctions during our fundraiser. Joanna Blaney and her staff are very knowledgeable in Silent & Live auctions. I would recommend them for any non profit fundraiser."
Jeffrey Sitcov - Founder & President Photocharity, San Diego, CA
"Since 2007 we have had the pleasure of working with Joanna Blaney and her team of event consultants. Because we are an all volunteer organization, SW Benefit Auctions provided us the relief we were looking for in event management. No longer does our chairman have to spend her whole time working in the "war room" at our fundraiser. No more logistical nightmares at the end of the night! All paperwork is in order and reports are printed out for us before we leave, so post event management is much easier. Whether you have been doing your event for one year or 20 years, having the support of a professional auction management team will help you stay organized, keep your volunteers happier and less stressed, and will ultimately help you raise more money for your organization."
Kim Prendergast, Member, Past President and Event Chairman Makua, Friends of Voices for Children

"I have had the pleasure to work with Joanna Blaney and Southwest Benefit Auctions for a year and look forward to the upcoming 2010-11 season as well. She is extremely professional and knowledgeable about her products and system in place for the Quick Check, registration, volunteer training and she provided both the event volunteers and the attendees with exceptional customer service. Whenever there was a question or a challenge, she was right there and handled it with ease."
