SNAPSHOT ON CHARITY AUCTIONS

Charity auctions are the fourth-fastest growing specialty segment within the auction industry. Since 2003, total growth of this auction segment has climbed 21.1%. Approximately two-thirds of NAA members conducted one or more charity auctions in 2007.  Non-profit organizations realize that using a professional Auctioneer for fund-raisers can raise more money, provide greater entertainment, and protect the organization from problems and legal liabilities compared to a non-professional.
