Mr. Dave Reynolds - Reynolds & Buckley: Charity & Fundraising Auctioneers“No one can pick the pockets of 264 well-heeled Manhattan bidders as successfully and humorously as Reynolds,” wrote Richard Elia in the Quarterly Review of Wines.  He charms, cajoles, and entertains with spontaneous one-liners. Along the way, he is transforming the role of fundraising auctioneer into a new kind of performance art. His San Francisco firm, Reynolds & Buckley annually raises millions of dollars for charities. Their client list includes over 120 organizations nationwide. Among these are such stellar events as the PONCHO Wine Auction, Sun Valley Wine Auction, V Foundation Wine Celebration in Napa, Portland’s Classic Wines Auction, and the New York Gold Coast Wine Auction. For many years, David’s events have been in the Wine Spectator’s list of Top 10 charity auctions Unique in a niche of his own creation: his focus is solely on fundraising auctions. Every week, he works on behalf of a long list of health care and research organizations, arts groups, museums, orchestras, children’s charities, and educational institutions. Luminaries who have shared his stage are Robin Williams, Jay Leno, Tommy Smothers, Chef Emeril Legasse, Tommy Smothers, Robert Mondavi, and Bette Midler Despite his love of the grape, his events are not limited to wine fundraisers. He also lifts his gavel to offer fine art, travel, dining, sports, and a myriad of other items for charity events.  While on stage, his boundless energy and witty style keep the bidding lively from start to finish. Yet auctioning is only part of his contribution to a charity’s fundraising success. David is also a proven expert on the theater and science that make a fundraising auction effective. Colleen Buckley, his wife, is his partner in this venture. The firm also includes rising star auction performers Greg Quiroga and Aaron Rowe. For more information, visit www. Reynolds-Buckley.com |
