Testimonials

This is what our clients say about us

For 20 years, Mercedes-Benz has been committed to helping disadvantaged children and young people together with LAUREUS Sport for Good.

In the context of a customer event CHARITYBEAT was engaged for the area of event fundraising and carried out a “SILENT AUCTION” in favor of LAUREUS. In a completely new way, our guests were not only entertained in an extremely appealing way.

The SILENT AUCTION items also created enthusiasm and stimulating conversation. The team of CHARITYBEAT has reliably and flawlessly ensured a smooth process and a successful Silent Auction.

The silent auction at our charity gala in Vienna in 2022 was once again run by CHARITYBEAT. The professional handling from the preparation to the execution on site distinguishes Sabrina Behm and her team.

The “Ladies in Red” skillfully presented all items. The smooth running of the auction ensured an evening full of donations. CHARITYBEAT thus made a significant contribution to the success of the children’s aid event.

This successful donation enables McDonald Kinderhilfe to continue to offer families with seriously ill children a temporary home close to the clinic. Thank you to everyone involved!

After numerous small and big successes in the real estate industry, the “Private Real Estate Dinner” was born out of the idea to give something back to the partners from my network and at the same time do good for a charitable cause that is very close to my heart.

For the realization I engaged Sabrina Behm and her team from CHARITYBEAT, who added a very special element to the evening: the so-called “SILENT AUCTION”. My 80 guests were fantastically entertained, able to purchase extraordinary items, and contribute generously.

For me, two aspects in particular were helpful: On the one hand, Ms. Behm supported me with her many years of expertise in preparing the dinner. On the other hand, she provided me with sound advice on the selection of a suitable charitable organization, made possible by her large network. Furthermore, the complete handling of the funds was in the competent hands of Ms. Behm and her team. In this way I could fully concentrate on my guests.

Even today, some of my clients tell very entertaining anecdotes that came about through the Silent Auction. CHARITYBEAT helped me to inspire my guests and by the end of the evening, I was proudly able to present the proceeds.

I can highly recommend working with CHARITYBEAT and look forward to our next “Private Real Estate Dinner”.

„Mit viel Charme und Professionalität hat Sabrina Behm, Gerrit Klepper und das ganze Team unser Charity Dinner im November 2021 im Drivers and Business Club in München bereichert. Die Stille Auktion, die mit sehr hochwertigen Artikeln von Charity Beat ergänzt wurde, war einer der Höhepunkte der Veranstaltung. Die hervorragende Zusammenarbeit zwischen dem Stiftungsteam und Charity Beat hat für einen runden und unkomplizierten Ablauf gesorgt. Genau der richtige Partner für eine Stille Auktion und jederzeit zu empfehlen!“

“Looking for alternative event options, I had a conversation with Sabrina Behm in August 2020. In 2019 we carried out two silent auctions on our own as part of live events and had also planned this for an event in 2020. The Corona situation has changed everything and also put a stop to many of our plans. Sabrina Behm advised us to hold a silent auction online and we were immediately impressed. We went into the detailed planning very quickly and had an ambitious time frame of only 8 weeks. After a short time, it became clear to us that not only we wanted to hold this auction as Jane Goodall Institute – Austria, but that 6 more European Jane Goodall Institutes would also like to take part. We soon became aware of the complexity of this project. Sabrina Behm and her team reacted immediately and within a few days they set up an English version parallel to the German version. The critical phase – the last two weeks before the start of the auction – was very labor-intensive, but thanks to the support from Sabrina and her team, everything was completed on time. The cooperation was based on trust, transparency, professionalism and not to forget, a lot of fun. The more than positive feedback from our donors encourages us to plan silent auctions for the next few years and we look forward to working with Ms. Behm again.”

„We are extremely happy about the successful fund-raiser at a private charity dinner in January 2020. The total amount of donations has far exceeded our expectations. Our heartfelt thanks go out to all to the donors and the initiator of the evening for his extraordinary support. I would also like to express my special thanks to Sabrina Behm for the professional handling.

Sabrina Behm and her team made sure in a very special way to create a pleasant atmosphere in which all guests felt comfortable and therefore thankfully made very generous donations. The follow-up was extremely reliable and smooth. We would be happy
to work with Sabrina Behm again at any time for our next charity events.“

„Due to the corona pandemic, the Hospiz Luise had to rethink its actions. Upon recommendation, we gave our event into the hands of Sabrina Behm and her team, which was planned as an in- person event. Our expectations were exceeded by far and participants and we were thrilled with the result.

The platform for the silent auction was easy to use and even those who were not online had the opportunity to submit their bids by e-mail or telephone over the entire auction period.
The collaboration was straightforward, professional, transparent and great fun. We would work with Ms. Behm again at any time.

If we see the future, the online version of the silent auction is a perfect opportunity to bring your own institution into the living room of the donors, who can do something good with joy and a little thrill. Perfect!”

“Our festive opera gala for the German AIDS Foundation in the “Deutsche Oper am Rhein” took place in 2017 for the eighth time. At first, we were rather skeptical about the extent to which the silent auction could support us at our charity dinner. On the one hand, we have been organizing this Charity Dinner for many years and our guests are used to a certain procedure. On the other hand, the dinner takes place relatively late, and we didn’t want to overwhelm the guests by “confronting” them with the silent auction. It was also important to us not to take any financial risks by contracting an agency. Nevertheless, we wanted to offer our VIP guests something unusual at out Charity Dinner. Ms. Behm’s very extensive advice and many years of expertise convinced us to give the silent auction a chance this year.

It was absolutely the right decision: many guests were curious and interested and took part in the silent auction. We were pleasantly surprised at how well the silent auction was received in the short time of the dinner. We were not only able to generate substantial additional income, but also build a bridge to new major donors and it was not to be overlooked that the silent auction met with a great response from our guests. There was also no financial risk for the foundation at any time, as the concept of the agency is designed in such a way that only added value can arise for the organisation. The very good result supports us very much in being able to intensify our help for HIV-positive people in need. ur big thanks go to Sabrina Behm and the very committed women of the agency, who entertained our guests very well for the good cause.

After this successful first cooperation, we look forward to working with Ms. Behm and her team again next year.”

CEO, Deutsche AIDS-Stiftung

„As part of our help and hope charity dinner, we held a silent auction for the first time. At first we were a bit sceptical, as our event took place with a small group of guests only. However, the great results that we were able to achieve through the silent auction were all the more gratifying. It was exciting to see how much our guests had “lost” themselves in the lovingly and detailed brochure and how much fun they had with the auction throughout the evening.

Das lag vor allem an der diskreten und unkomplizierten Durchführung. Großes Lob an Sabrina Behm und ihr Team. Sie haben eine tolle professionelle Arbeit geleistet und dem Abend einen einzigartigen Rahmen verliehen.“

Sandra Heller

„At our annual Laughing Hearts Charity Gala, we always want to offer our guests something new. For this reason we have decided in favor of the silent auction over the past two years. Many of our guests appreciate the anonymity of the auction and feel that they are in very good hands with the competent advice from Sabrina Behm’s team.
.

With the multitude of donation opportunities at our gala, the silent auction is a pleasant change and a great opportunity to purchase extraordinary auction items.“

Daniel Kloss

CEO Laughing Hearts e.V.

„With great charm and professionalism, Sabrina Behm and her team have greatly contributed to our event on Sylt, “Hearts for Berlin”. The silent auction with very high-quality items, the presentation and the charming implementation were one of the highlights of the evening, which was moderated by Ulla Kock am Brink. Our sincere thanks go to Ms. Behm and we look forward to running more events with her.“

Prof. Dr. Peter Fissenewert

President of the "Gesellschaft der Freunde des Deutschen Herzzentrums"

“Our 10-year anniversary gala from Lebensherbst e.V. found professional support by Ms. Behm and her team, and their silent auction also enabled them to generate significant additional proceeds for “our” senior citizens. Many thanks and appreciation for that!”

“I recently moderated an event in the Hamburg Town Hall and this was the first time I came into contact with the so-called silent auction. I found that very impressive, entertaining and quite fascinating.”

Hubertus Meyer-Burckhardt

„We were very enthusiastic about the high quality and professionalism of the silent auction by Ms. Behm! In particular, the elaborate presentation, the exciting selection items and the anonymity of the auction were well received by our guests and thus contributed to a successful charity event. Sabrina Behm’s commitment is really noteworthy. In addition to the silent auction, she also supported our foundation with many tips and ideas from her many years of experience.”

Tanja Stern

NCL-Stiftung, Event- und Projektmanagement

“We took advice from Ms. Behm for our 2014 event and, as she suggested, built in completely new fundraising elements. Sabrina Behm made it possible not only to inspire our guests with the silent auction and an extraordinary raffle, but also to generate a considerable extra amount of proceeds for Made auf Veddel. We look forward to continuing this successful collaboration in 2015.”
