Thank you so very much for generously donating your time and auctioneering expertise at our ‘Closing the Gap on Eye Care’ event at Sydney Opera House.

Without your clear communication, attention to detail and joyful banter with guests, we would not have been able to meet, let alone exceed, our fundraising target.

In all we raised almost $200,000 to directly support Sydney Eye Hospital’s commitment to provide equal access to care for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.

These funds will go towards essential diagnostic and screening tools for regional clinics in NSW, including our friends at Pius X Aboriginal Medical Service in Moree. And in addition will help fund the opening of an Indigenous Clinic at Sydney Eye Hospital - a culturally sensitive respite area and fully equipped ophthalmic critical care clinic including virtual health.

Thank you again. We couldn’t do this vital work without you and we’re truly grateful to have you on this journey with us.

“Jason has been hosting and auctioning at our events for many years now and has consistently exceeded expectations.

His presence elevates every function—not just with energy and professionalism, but with a genuine connection to the audience that drives incredible results. At one gala, he raised over $150,000 from a single item: a signed poster by Egyptian movie stars.

He’s helped us raise over $1 million through auctions alone for ‘Shepherd of Egypt’. The difference with Jason is that he’s more than an auctioneer—he becomes part of the entertainment. He brings heart, expertise, and performance that turns fundraising into an experience.”

“As a charity it is important for our organisation to make the most of items generously donated for auction.

We were very pleased with the ability of Jason Kazanis of Event Auctioneers to maximise bids during the live auction fundraising activity at our major annual gala event.

He helped us achieve more than a 30% increase in income from this activity compared to the previous year.

Jason engaged the audience, energised them, and efficiently directed bids to optimal levels. We can highly recommend his services.”

Jason did an incredible job as our auctioneer at a charity event held at the Google Sydney headquarters. Each of our teams came up with fun and creative prizes—like baking a cake every week for three months or taking on someone’s end-of-financial-year workload—and Jason brought them to life with his energy and humour.

He had the entire room laughing and bidding generously. The auction raised thousands for our charity, and it was all thanks to the magic that happens when you pair great ideas with a master auctioneer. Jason was not just the auctioneer—he was the entertainment! Five stars.

“We recently hired Jason to be our auctioneer for a charity live auction and right from the start he was professional, passionate and knowledgable.

He helped us shape the evening, telling us the best times for the auction and helping with the order of the prizes, etc.

On the night he was excellent - he ran through the auction with all our volunteers so they knew what to do and was able to judge the crowd and raise as much money for the charity as possible.

Entertaining and a delight to work with - we'd definitely use him again for any future auctions”.

“If you are looking for a true professional, someone easy to work with, who listens keenly to a brief, who is engaging and smart, who knows how to read and work extremely well with an audience, who is generous with his time, heart and soul, who is courteous, respectful and fun and who gets results, then look further than Jason! Highly recommend Jason and his service as master auctioneer!”

Verna Wing, Healthy Harold

We engaged Jason as the auctioneer for our Sydney Human Rights Dinner. The event was an important fundraiser for our work. Jason was incredible! He was brilliant at keeping the mood fun and engaging and helped us raise a fantastic amount (more than we expected) for our items.

He is the best auctioneer we've had to date. I highly recommend him. He had the audience laughing, smiling, focussed, and most importantly, bidding! Five stars!

Rachel Richmond—Human Rights Legal Centre

Our industry charity has used Jason as our auctioneer at a large annual charity dinner in Sydney for the past 8 years.

I am usually the MC for the entire night. We always want Jason to handle our charity auctions. He will often have to work his auctioneering skills across a myriad of different auction items, in front of 450+ seated guests.

Jason is the consummate professional. He controls the room & raises significant interest from our guests through his energy, his personality and skilful interaction.

I can't recommend Jason highly enough. He is simply the best auctioneer I have ever seen.

Jason has been the auctioneer at Giant Steps' Charity Ball for several years.

Our Ball in 2025 had over 1,250 guests and Jason did a wonderful job at engaging the entire audience and getting the best price possible for each of our Live Auction items.

Jason is always a pleasure to deal with and he is an important part of ensuring our ball is a success each year.
