Red Apple Auctions

About

I founded Red Apple Auctions to help volunteer auction chairs understand and manage the auction process so they could raise more money for their charities. Both schools and non-profits use our services.

Planning an auction doesn't need to be overwhelming. We provide proven systems to help you structure the event and implement techniques.

Some clients use Red Apple for consulting only ... others engage us to help run their silent auction ... others tap us to oversee the live auction, silent auction, and activities.

Your charity will see the difference! Most of our clients see a minimum increase of 25% but up to 300% revenue increases aren't unheard of. Just as important, donors and sponsors become MORE interested and guests leave impressed with how well the event is managed.

Before opening this business, I spent over a decade honing my skills in the corporate world working for "Big 10" companies. Now I use that knowledge to assist people like you, who are eager to help their non-profit build a profitable, signature auction.

Red Apple Auctions or myself have been featured on television shows on E! Style and TLC, and publications including Town & Country Magazine, The Washington Post Magazine, AUCTIONEER, The Eleusis, and more.

Please visit the website for (FREE) great auction ideas for school auctions, non-profit galas, church events, golf tournaments, and more.

Sherry Truhlar: Founder and lead auctioneer

Influences

I worked for over a decade in corporate sales and marketing prior to becoming an auctioneer and opening my business. Because of this, my marketing perspective when working with benefit auction clients is a bit different than other auctioneers.
