Auctioneer business rebrands, changes name

Cape Coral-based Scott Robertson Auctioneers has rebranded to a new name: Champion Fundraising Auctions. 

The company has helped nonprofits, schools and charities nationwide raise more than $500 million over the past 29 years and the new name, according to a statement, “reflects the company’s mission to be a champion for the causes of the organizations they work alongside.”

Scott Robertson will remain at the helm of the company, the release states. Robertson and Champion Fundraising Auction’s Sara Rose Bytner, a third-generation auctioneer and an international champion auctioneer, are only two of 151 auctioneers in the United States to earn the designation of Benefit Auctioneer Specialists awarded by the National Auctioneers Association Designation Academy.  Robertson and Bytner also teach at the designation academy held annually in Las Vegas, the release states.
