"Bobby served as our Emcee, Entertainer, and Live Auctioneer for our December JA Open Golf Tournament. He was prompt, engaging with the crowd, and friendly with our staff and volunteers. Bobby’s upbeat and jovial performance lent itself to the festive atmosphere our attendees and sponsors appreciate. This year, our tournament exceeded fundraising goals and Bobby’s dynamic persona and engagement with the crowd certainly played an important role in that! During our fast-paced Live Auction segment, Bobby did a great job hyping the incredible vacation packages that were up for bid. His enthusiasm built excitement in the crowd and elicited eager bidders. Junior Achievement appreciates Bobby’s efforts to make our fundraisers professional, festive, and successful.
