The Importance of a Great Auctioneer for Charity Fundraisers<br />
Benefit or Charity auctions is one<br />
of today’s most popular fundraising<br />
methods for school, non-profit and<br />
501c3 organizations. But planning<br />
and presenting an auction that is both<br />
profitable and memorable doesn’t<br />
happen by accident. Just ask anyone<br />
who’s done it. It takes hard work,<br />
great timing, cooperation, extensive<br />
planning, organizational excellence<br />
and a little luck.<br />
