We have been running auctions for close to twenty years. We have won glowing testimonials for conducting profitable and professional auctions for nonprofit organizations. I worked as a Sales & Marketing executive for several major airlines for over 21 years. I am sure you have solicited airlines repeatedly, but how often do they donate to your event?

About Scott Merrin, President

Scott Merrin, PresidentScott founded the company in 1998 after spending 21 years in the airline industry. He spent 17 years at American Airlines and four years at Qantas Airways where he was the Manager of Business Development for the Americas. He received a B.A. in Business Management from the University of Redlands.

Scott was the person that nonprofit organizations sent letters to requesting airline tickets for their fundraisers. He received literally hundreds of letters a week and he saw a real need to educate the nonprofit world on just exactly what an airline or big-ticket donor was looking for in their letters. Scott and his wife, Maria, volunteered and worked with numerous charities throughout the country and have been conducting silent auctions for over fifteen years.

Scott embraced the passion that the volunteers and Board Members displayed while working with them. He developed the concept and business plan for Silent Partners with the desire to help those less fortunate raise additional funds for their deserving causes.
