What It's About
A bid-raising update from one-half of a sisterly auctioneering team. Sold!
Notes from Chris
Episode 1916
Welcome to Throwback Thursday / “Where are they now?” where we take an in-depth look at someone who’s story has evolved considerably since we first featured them. Last week, we heard from the founder of Pizza City USA, which offers walking tours (and an upcoming festival!) from its home base in Chicago. Today, in our latest feature, we’ll hear from Katie Cashman Fitzsimmons from Bismark, North Dakota. She is one-half of the Cashman auctioneer sisters known as Auctionisters. They facilitate charity auctions that raise millions of dollars for good causes across the United States. What’s happened since? Well, there was a pandemic you might have heard about … But they also continued raising lots of money, getting paid themselves, and navigating the world of childcare and other parts of life. What’s happened since? Listen to today's episode to hear Katie's updates...MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODE:
