Chris Bohr, the founder of Complete Benefit Auctions, became an Auctioneer through his affiliation with golf and golf tournaments. From 2002 to 2005, Chris was the president of Paradise Golf, a reciprocal golf membership program operating in several markets throughout Florida. It is through that role that Chris became fully versed in the arena of successful golf tournaments, including the organization of an International tournament in Grand Bahama Island that featured over 100 golfers participating in a three-day fundraiser that included beneficiaries such as the Children’s Cancer Center and others.
Whether it is a Grand Gala with more than one thousand attendees or a smaller, more intimate affair of less than a hundred, Complete Benefit Auctions has the experience to execute with excellence!
