Larry Zucker, co-founder of The Gavel Group brings a wealth of experience with more than 16 years of producing auctions specifically for non-profits.

Larry has raised more than $15,000,000 through auction events that he has either helped create and/or improve. He has consulted for more than 100 non-profits in more than 20 states and assists with more than 50 auctions a year.

His style is more game show than fast talking (he was once a contestant on The Dating Game and produced a game show auction with Jeopardy's Alex Trebek). Larry blends entertainment with great salesmanship and bases all his decisions on how to make the non-profit the most money.

He holds degrees from the University of Redlands and Cal Poly Pomona and racquetball and cruises are his hobbies. He has produced events with Colin Powell, Bill Cosby, Whoopi Goldberg, Tony Bennett, Walter Cronkite, Carl Reiner, John Lithgow, Alex Trebek, Jane Goodall, Ben Stein, Al Franken, Martin Mull, Tommy Lasorda, John Wooden, Michael Eisner, Ben Vereen, Dr. Laura Schlessinger, Debbie Allen, and more.
