What My Clients Say

Hear from those who’ve experienced my exceptional auction services

“Cody Dawson is a breath of fresh air for the Central Coast non-profit community. He is the ultimate professional, filled with great ideas and experience to help boost your non-profit auction event. His love of San Luis Obispo county shines through along with his giving spirit. He transformed our auction, not only the bottom line, but along with his crew brought so much joy to our event. I highly recommend Cody and he will become a staple at many Greenspace events to come!”
“After observing Auctioneer Cody Dawson at a fundraiser, I was immediately convinced he would be an exceptional asset to our own fundraising event. He not only demonstrated dynamic professionalism but also a profound love and passion for his craft. He was incredibly generous with his time, consulting with our board and sharing his valuable knowledge to help us strategize for our event. His deep care and active involvement in our community make him an effortless choice for our team, particularly for our biggest event of the year.”
“Cody has become an absolute staple for our annual gala, Rendezvous. His enthusiasm throughout the live auction is contagious and this translates to a successful fundraising event year after year. He’s always willing to participate in pre-event meetings to provide suggestions, feedback, and ideas on the latest auction trends. We can’t imagine our gala without him and his team.”
“Cody’s brought his infectious charm to six SLO Children’s Museum events, and I’m certain that his guidance, expertise, confidence and professionalism greatly contributed to the success of each. I couldn’t imagine entrusting such an important fundraising tool to anybody else.”
