TESTIMONIALS

Hear what some of the bachelors and bachelorettes are saying about thier experience being auctioned off to help raise funds and awareness for local charities.

CHARITIES

"It was such a pleasure working with Buy Me Love Benefits for our Valentine's Day Puppy Love Party benefiting the programs and services of the San Diego Humane Society and SPCA. The San Diego Humane Society had never participated in an event of this kind before and I have to say we were pleasantly surprised by how well it was received by donors, participants, and guests. Diane Michael, President of Buy Me Love, is a pristine example of professionalism. Her high energy and attention to detail makes her a true pleasure to work with. Her strong understanding and experience within the non-profit field shows and makes Buy Me Love Benefits a perfect event partner for fun and out-of-the-box fundraising events. She always had the interest of the San Diego Humane Society at heart and worked tirelessly to get us the most donations possible for our event. We could not be more appreciative of all of her hard work to bring the mission of the San Diego Humane Society to light with a whole genre of people. We were very lucky to have her as our Valentine."
-- Kimmy O'Connor, Senior Development Associate -San Diego Humane Society and SPCA

"I had a great time working with Diane. She is a true professional with boundless energy. Her contagious excitement made our event a tremendous success. Our Humane Society raised $17,000 thanks to her hard work and genuine concern for our cause. I look forward to working with her in the near future."
--Patti Thalheimer, Development Director, Halifax Humane Society - Daytona Beach, Florida

“Diane was a pleasure to work with and helped my charity raise thousands of dollars through her hard work and boundless energy. I recommend her and her company if you want to have a fun exciting fundraising event for your charity.”
--John Pappas, Board Member, Surfrider Foundation San Diego Chapter

"Diane has proven that she will do what she says. I met Diane after she made a commitment to help with a charity fundraiser for The Noblemen in Virginia Beach. After about a five second introduction she came across as a person willing to help with our cause and continues to advise and consult with wonderful ideas. Diane flew across country at the last minute to help and learn more of our charity when she had her plate full already with another major project. She makes things look effortless while bringing out the best of those she is collaborating with. I had the pleasure of sitting down and discussing various business projects with her and how she would direct and had directed such events. You will find that Diane possesses the knowledge, passion, and charisma to make any event fly to the top while making it look simple at the same time. Her energy is infectious around others and she is a great assest to anyone who has the benefit of her business and ideas.

I am so impressed I have constantly tried to hire Diane for a position in sales and marketing! My reccomendation is to give her her the task and cut her loose. She will run circles around you and make you tired from her energy alone. She is a pleasure to work with and I look forward to the next events we plan on hosting and what she brings to the table."
--Harry Sellers, Noblemen, Virginia Beach

"Diane is a true professional that helped raise thousands of dollars for Surfrider with minimal effort on our part. I would be happy to work with Diane again and would recommend her to others."
--Bill Hickman, San Diego County Chapter Coordinator, Surfrider Foundation

The Buy Me Love Benefits event raised over $10,000 for Fresh Start with minimal effort! The event allowed Fresh Start to build awareness within a younger demographic. If you are looking for another fundraiser, but can’t spare the time and energy to put it on, then Diane is your gal!
-- Stephanie Alband, Development Director, Fresh Start Surgical Gifts

BACHELOR/ETTES
"As a bachelor for BMLB I was able to raise money for charity and at the same time meet the most dynamic people in my area.  BMLB event participants are confident, intelligent, and enthusiastic.  Although I was a little nervous about walking up onto the auction block, the organizers and volunteers made me feel as part of a greater good that valued every bachelor's efforts.  Everyone cheered and had a blast!  When the total money raised was announced, it felt wonderful to have made a difference in just one single night.  I also met a wonderful person that I am still dating - An extra bonus!"
--Alex Salazar, Executive Director - Madison Gallery

“I was fortuneate enough to have the pleasure of workign w/ diane at one of her events. her professionalsim and organization were unmatched compared to other charity events i have been involved with.”
--Harlan Berk, Owner, Gallilean Sportfishing

"What a great opportunity to raise money for my favorite charity.  Working with Buy Me Love Benefits was such a great experience - - and quite a bit of fun!  Everything was so well organized.  All I had to do was show up and smile a lot.  I was a little hesitant, seeing that I was so much older than the other bachelors.  However, after getting the highest bid for the evening ($5000) I think I showed those spring chickens who gets the best grain (wink).  Your organization made this very shy guy feel comfortable and confident about auctioning himself.  Thank you for helping me make a difference in thousands of children's lives with the money we raised. A huge hug to you all."
--Kenn Cross, Founder - Gentlemen's Martini Night

--Beth Bennett, Marketing Director - The Belly Up Tavern
