"Alone we can do so little; Together we can do so much." - Helen Keller
Our Family Auction Story dates back to 1983, when our parents established a family auction company in rural Dubuque County Iowa. Initially focused on farm auctions and small local charity events, we have since expanded our services and coverage area to help numerous 501(c)(3) charitable organizations throughout the Midwest to enhance their fundraising potential. Today, we take great pride in our work and remain committed to staying on the cutting edge of fundraising gala trends. If you're in need of fresh ideas or a change for your next fundraising gala auction event, Bravo Auctions of Wisconsin, Iowa and Illinois can help you discover new ideas to help you maximize your fundraising potential.

At a charity auction in Iowa, I nervously sold my very first item- a golfing for 4 certificate. My dad, who doesn't even golf, made the winning bid of $600. His support meant the world to me, and it's a memory and photo I 'll always cherish. Best auction item, best dad!
