This sweepstakes is a chance to get people talking with us on Facebook.

Once entered, a fan can invite friends to participate in the sweepstaeks. "I'd encourage entire auction committees, and maybe even entire schools, to ban together and enter, in the hopes that one of them would win the instructional videos," said Truhlar.
No purchase is necessary to enter. Entrants must be at least 18 years old. This contest requires that you have Internet access, a valid e-mail address, and you must become a fan of the Red Apple Auctions Facebook page where you can find and enter the contest via a NorthSocial application.

Style, TLC) where she inspires and teaches volunteers how to hit new fundraising records in their auction galas.
