A new resource is now available to help elevate your local fundraising events: CBU Auctions 

CBU Auctions is a modern auction platform designed to support CMN, hospitals and partners by providing an easy experience for donors and event attendees. Whether you’re planning a gala, golf tournament, radiothon or specialty event, this tool can simplify execution and help drive greater fundraising results. The real fundraising impact happens when we can place a CBU Auction table at a single location for an extended period of time. 

What CBU Auctions Offers:  

  • Sourcing auction items that are relevant to the region or potential auction donor interests
  •  Keeping track of bids
  • Shipping items to winning bidders 
  • Nationally vetted platform used by major nonprofits
  • Customizable auction experiences
  • Receipting 

Marriott has been working with CBU Auctions, and in 2025 alone, they raised $625,000 at 50 participating properties. The success Marriott has seen can be translated to other partners and local hospital events/campaigns. 

The Director of Sales & Marketing at the Westin Kierland Resort and Spa in Scottsdale, Ariz., had this to share: “The team at CBU Auctions is top notch! From their business model, marketing, partnership and creativity, they can find something that works for any organization. The entire process is turnkey with CBU Auctions doing all the heavy lifting, making the process very seamless. Through branding opportunities and specially selected memorabilia, they really want to get to know your organization and understand what products will do best in your location. In our first year partnering with CBU Auctions, we have raised an incredible amount of money for the Children’s Miracle Network and look forward to getting CBU Auctions in many more Marriott properties in the future!”
