"We use Facebook to provide advice, tips, and photos that volunteer auction chairs can read to get simple ideas that make their job easy. This sweepstakes is a chance to get people talking with us on Facebook. Our existing fans love our weekly how-to videos, so even after January 31, I know our new friends are going to like what they see," said Sherry Truhlar, benefit auctioneer and founder of Red Apple Auctions.
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.

Benefit auctioneer Sherry Truhlar's entertaining stories and advice is often picked up by publications (e.g. Town & Country, The Washington Post Magazine, AUCTIONEER, The Eleusis, The Virginia Auctioneer) and television (e.g. E! Style, TLC) where she inspires and teaches volunteers how to hit new fundraising records in their auction galas.
