About our Auctioneer
Barry Cherwin has served as President of the New York City Auctioneers Association, is a NYC Auctioneer of the Year and NYC Bid Calling Champion. He is President of Cherwin Benefit Auctioneers, one of the preeminent Benefit Auction Companies in NY. Barry appeared in the 2011 Blondie video, “Mother” and was the subject of the Nin Brudermann video, “The Seated Auctioneer”, produced in 2020. He has shared the stage with countless sports figures (including Joe Namath), Hollywood celebrities (such as Oprah Winfrey), and national politicians, (including President Bill Clinton). Barry once auctioned the tie off his neck for $1,000, another time a case of tuna fish for $520, and once, three months “free” parking for $7800.
He won’t be doing any of that at the Legal Aid event. He’s with us to help us raise as much as possible for the Legal Aid Society of Rockland County. All he asks is that you help in that endeavor by bidding generously and pledging what you can.
