The Power of Collaborations:

Hail Hail Auction’s

Commitment to Causes

Founder, Chris Maliszewski

No one will ever accuse Chris Maliszewski of being a wallflower.

Chris Maliszewski's journey from college baseball star to emcee auctioneer embodies the fusion of sportsmanship and philanthropy. Transitioning from the diamond to the auction floor, Chris found his niche in energizing crowds to support charitable causes through Hail Hail Auctions.

It’s that background in athletics that enables Chris to infuse the competitive spirit of sports into every auction, creating an atmosphere not unlike a rock concert. Yet, beyond the excitement, Chris prioritizes fostering lasting relationships within the charitable community, recognizing that true impact extends beyond monetary contributions.

Chris's dedication to philanthropy shines through his involvement in co-founding "The Walking Tall Movement" following his experience in the tragic 2022 Highland Park 4th of July mass shooting. Alongside his own initiatives, he has raised funds for numerous charities, including HP Cares For Cooper!

As an auctioneer, Chris doesn't just raise bids; he inspires action and solidarity, demonstrating that when passion meets purpose, meaningful change is possible.

Hail Hail!

What People Are Saying

  • Jack Dahm, Head Baseball Coach - Mount Mercy University

    “

    Chris did a great job with our auction bringing in over $24,000. He found ways to keep everybody in the room engaged and kept a great pace. Involving Chris for the first time led us to raising the most money in our 10 years of having the event.

  • Christina Morrison, Development Director: Second City Canine Rescue, Palatine

    “

    I highly recommend Chris for live events. He recommended two consignment live auction items to offer a greater variety to the packages we had donated and he brought in 3x their value and an overall live auction revenue of 230% of FMV! Chris connected well with our audience and donors throughout the event, both one-on-one and from the stage. You can tell that he truly enjoys people and helping them meet their philanthropic goals.

RAISING MONEY FOR GREAT CAUSES HELPS EVERYONE!
