Testimonials
Evan Ty Jenkins Pediatric Research Foundation
=====================================
Charity Solutions has provided prizes for the past two years for our Charity Golf Tournament. The variety of products that Fred has provided has always been a great mix of higher end as well as items that all participants can bid on. Our silent auction this year was totally sold out. A lot of the tables included Charity Solutions products bringing the auction to a new level. We will continue to use Charity Solutions in the future to ensure that our silent auctions has the appeal and look that Treasure Life is looking for. Fred is professional, friendly and very accommodating to our needs.

Testimonial from Canadian Transplant Association (Kathy Tachynski)
I have to admit, we were a little hesitant at first to use Charity Solutions. However, after talking with Fred and better understanding how the company works, I quickly learned that Fred is one of the most honest, trustworthy people you can meet, so it didn't take much to convince me that this was a reputable company with people who truly want to assist organizations such as ours.
I was very impressed with Fred's professionalism, prompt responses, and willingness to accommodate our organization's needs. Fred is very approachable and so helpful, offering very good suggestions from his experience with former events/organizations. Our organizing committee and guests were very impressed with the quality of items Charity Solutions provided. In fact, we had referred Charity Solutions to at least three different people that evening who had inquired about the company. We will definitely use Charity Solutions again next year and look forward to future partnerships.
For an organization such as ours which is made up entirely of volunteers, it can be challenging to find volunteers to organize and help with events, so I would highly recommend Charity Solutions for any organization such as ours - they were a real blessing! A special thank-you to Andy (Fred's father-in-law) who was most helpful in delivering our items and even helping set out some items on the tables and bringing along some extra easles for us to use - very impressed with the family-business Charity Solutions represents.
Best regards,

Charity Solutions was a key contributor to the success of our Silent
Auction. They gave us many one of a kind items that we could not have otherwise obtained. As well they helped us provide a range of items from $25.00 to $500.00 so there was something for all of our attendees to bid on. I would highly recommend using their credit card services. I believe it allowed some people to bid on higher priced items they otherwise could not have purchased.

We wanted to thank you very much for the amazing service that we received from you and your company. Charity Solutions, for our recent fundraising event. My soccer team is raising funds to play in the World Masters Games in Australia in October of this year and could not have had as successful of an event without you. Charity Solutions provided many diverse items for our silent auction and they appealed to all of our attendees. It was particularly helpful that you asked how many people we were expecting and what else was going on that night. Not only did you provide the items that we needed in a risk-free environment, you and Leanne were there to support the auction as well as wrap up purchased items. You gave many tips on how to make the most of
our event and were there for us from start to finish. Everything was done professionally and I would certainly use your company again and would recommend you to everyone.
Thank you again,

From start to finish, Charity Solutions Inc. was an integral part of the success of my annual golf tournament. The items they provide are high quality and matched perfectly with the clientele in attendance. I would highly recommend using Charity Solutions Inc. for your next fundraising event.

The pictures we received from Charity Solutions Inc. were of the highest quality. The framing is exceptional!! We displayed a total of 5 pictures and raised just over $10,400.00 above the reserve bids.
Charity Solution Inc. has a fantastic buy back policy. If we were unable to move the items provided, they will gladly take them back. We didn't have to use this, but it put us at ease knowing we could. The products we used to raise funds for charity have been exceptional, and they practically sell themselves.
Our Wayne Gretzky print went for over $4800.00
We have held 3 different fund raisers since May 2007, and we will continue to be a customer of Charity Solutions Inc. in the future.

I just wanted to send a quick note stating how much your organization has helped me to help others. I've used your pictures and other art works to raise funds for numerous charitable campaigns that our company supports throughout the year. Namao branch has been able to donate almost $4,000 to these charities. There is no way this branch could have raised that amount of funds by selling hot dogs or through other traditional fund raising activities. As well as the donations raised, we were able to do this without having to spend valuable time away from our branch business activities to achieve these results.
Thank you, for helping me to help others.

Fred, I just wanted to express my sincere gratitude for the amazing results we have enjoyed using your pictures in our silent auctions. To date, the last 3 fund raisers that we participated in, have enabled us to significantly exceed our expectations. Thanks for the great service to our branch and community!

Meeting Fred and Leanne was the greatest thing for me and my fundraising efforts here in Canmore. I could not believe my good fortune to meet them. For numerous years I have been fundraising in the community for the local Rotary Club, always begging for something from the local businesses. It got to be that there was the same things at all the fundraising events and the proceeds started going down. Charity Solutions was our answer, the items, pictures and presentation of the product is outstanding. We have had excellent results from the products supplied to us for our events, increasing our fundraising dollars and the pleasure of our event goers. We love the return policy which allows us to give back whatever does not sell for its minimum bid. Charity Solutions certainly helps reduce the pressure and stress or organizing large community events. Thank you Charity Solutions, I look forward to working together with you on future fundraising efforts in Canmore.
