About Impact Auctions
A husband-and-wife team helping nonprofits raise more — with less stress.
Meet Ron & Debbie Hitzel
Ron and Debbie bring over 20 years of experience raising record-breaking funds for nonprofits they believe in. Ron, a former US Navy Nuclear Submariner with a master's in business and multilingual skills honed across 56 countries, brings boundless energy and a global perspective to every event. Debbie, a former educator of nearly 30 years, brings her expertise in connecting people and advancing missions to create seamless, impactful fundraising experiences.
Based in North Carolina and Florida, they founded Impact Auctions as a licensed charity auctioneer brand dedicated to helping thousands of organizations maximize profits in a single night — while minimizing stress for volunteers.
We love working with Debbie and Ron. Their professionalism, energy, and wit are extraordinary. Yet what we appreciate most is their authenticity — they're good people with a genuine heart for building relationships and serving the community.
