Thanks for your help with the charity auction, it was fantastic to have you there and we hope you and your wife enjoyed the evening. Together we raised $8,500 for the Shane Cameron Foundation which will be used to help fund boxing gear and travel for talented Kiwi boxers to take their sport to the next level!

On behalf of Westpac we would like to sincerely thank you for donating your time and expertise to our Chopper Appeal auction this year. Your energy, enthusiasm and passion for auctioneering certainly contributed to the success of the night, and it’s looking like the total amount raised has blown last year’s record out of the water. We would love to have you back again next time! Thanks again, The Westpac Chopper Appeal Quiz & Auction Night organisers – Steph and Andy

Hi Dayle, Last term you generously donated your auctioneering expertise to our school for gala day - Thank you, it made our live auction! Well, the coins are all counted and all loose ends are firmly tied up and we are thrilled to announce that the Gladstone Gala 2015 raised the phenomenal sum of $51,765. The Gladstone Gala is the schools biggest fundraising event of the year and an opportunity to involve both our school and wider community in a fantastic fun filled day out, with something for everyone. Despite slightly grim beginnings on the weather front this year, the sun came out exactly on time, the crowds appeared and a wonderful day was had by all. Without the support and generosity of our community this event would not be the success that it is. Again, thank you so much for your contribution. Warm regards The Gladstone Gala Committee & Sponsorship Team

To reiterate Arameh's comments, personality/charisma-plus Dayle. We were talking about the recipe cards this morning and even yourself and Kath helping with the clean-up. You went above and beyond and we're all immensely grateful.

Hi Dayle, Just a quick note to express our appreciation to and Kath for donating your time and auction items last October for the annual Buffalo Ball held at The Oakroom. As you were aware the evening was dedicated to fundraising, helping Gabby regain the use of her legs. Gabby and her parents (Clinton and Vanessa) have expressed their extreme gratitude for the event and all your efforts. The evening was a great success and was part of over $30,000 in fundraisingfor the cause. A highlight for all, were the auctions that you ran with brilliant capability and enthusiasm. The funds raised directly from the auction were far more than we anticipated and were a considerable part of the overall funds raised during the evening. Finally, thanks again for your support and professionalism in helping the RAOB with their philanthropic en-devours. Regardsbr Russell

Dear Dayle & Kathryn - Thank you for your wonderful support of the Hospice North Shore Vintner's Brunch. We were so pleased that you were able to join us this year, and we hope you had a great day. The 2015 Vintner's Brunch raised an incredible $180,000 towards the upgrade of the Hospice Inpatient Unit and we were also delighted to receive 14 state-of-the-art wheelchairs for patients in our community. The success of the event is testimony to the kindness and generosity of people like you who attended and we appreciate your support for the work of our charity. Kind regards - Jan Nicolls

Dear Dayle, On behalf of the team at Dimension Data New Zealand, I would like to thank you for giving up your time to help raise money for our Bikes for Kids community programme. Your auctioneering skills was a key contributor to the success of our charity auction night. The team really appreciated the lengths you went to in the planning, coordination and logistics to make the night a memorable one. Come the live auction, it was fascinating to see your lively character and skills come to light with an extremely engaged audience who got their wallets out for a great cause. Our clients, partners, guests and staff still talk about what a fantastic night we created, largely down to you. Thank you again for your support and being a part of the family on the night. We certainly look forward to reaching out to you again in due course for the next one. Cheers - Diljit, on behalf of the Dimension Data New Zealand team.

On behalf of Microsoft NZ and Ronald McDonald house, I wanted to extend our sincere thanks and appreciation for your support of our recent fundraising evening. Your generosity in agreeing to MC the evening for us allowed us to maximise the funds raised for Ronald McDonald house and was a significant factor in making the entire evening a resounding success. Your engagement with the audience created an outstanding atmosphere on the evening including a lot of laughter and increased awareness of the great work that happens at Ronald McDonald house. In addition, your experience in reading the crowd and raising additional funds through ad-hoc donations & quick fire auctions meant that we surpassed our fundraising goals for the night. We really appreciate your time and energy on this, and will absolutely look to engage you for future events. Sincerely, Riki Plester

Hi Dayle I just wanted to pass on a HUGE thank you from the Herne Bay Ponsonby Rackets Club, for the auction and MC services that you provided at our recent fundraising event. Not only did Dayle help us to raise some significant funds for our club, but he really helped to make the night a lot of fun for everyone too. We commented later, on just how easy he was to work with, and the very professional job that he did. Thanks so much from everyone at Herne Bay Ponsonby Rackets!

On behalf of the Motutara Waimauku scout group, I want to thankyou for the huge contribution you made to our Horse racing night and Auction. We raised as much as last year, with less people in the room. This is a remarkable result that was helped hugely by your extraordinary auctioneer skills. With only a few weeks' notice you stepped up to help us when we lost our auctioneer, we are so appreciative. You gave up your time to help 30 teenage youth go on the adventure of a lifetime this Christmas, and this means so much to us. Your energy seemed to be endless, and your friendly easy going nature helped me when I was stressing out. You have a great sense of humour BRAVO... and thanks again!

Hi Dayle Just a note to say a huge thank you for your support on Sunday the 16th for the Totara Hospice Long Lunch. Your professionalism, attention to detail and also willingness to adapt with last minute add ons and changes was fantastic and much appreciated.
We are sitting on a nett profit of $46,000 that is $14,000 up on the previous year - both the Silent and Live Auctions were major contributors to this figure.
Thank you for support and for helping making hospice happen, it makes an invaluable difference having a professional and results driven auctioneer in the room so thanks.

Thank you again for making the Heart Foundation’s High Tea a great success and I hope we can work together in the future.
