And that’s a wrap on Auction Season #1 for 2026! 🫶🏽💜

Last night marked my 30th auction of the year so far — 30 events for 30 different nonprofits supporting causes ranging from mental health and healthcare to land conservation, the arts, school enrichment, breast cancer prevention, services for seniors, and so much more. Together, these 30 events and the incredible communities behind them have raised nearly $15 MILLION in critical funds for these nonprofits!! 😭 It’s been a really amazing year of giving so far 🙏🏽.

Last night’s event for wrapped this season with a bang! Even with a smaller crowd than previous years, the generosity in the room was incredible. From our warm-up item of two cakes raising $6,000 to a spirited paddle raise that will help provide meals, safety, and connection for vulnerable seniors — this community showed up in a big way.

One of my goals was to surpass last year’s 61 gifts at our $100 level and reach 64 gifts — enough to provide a full year of home-delivered meals for two seniors. Earlier in the evening, several guests had asked if I was going to sing. Since I hadn’t planned anything with the team, I told them that if we hit our goal, I’d do one of my old impressions from my Beach Blanket Babylon days as a thank-you 🤣. We kept pushing, guests started giving multiple times, vendors joined in, and together we reached 65 gifts!! One donor who gave 10 times at our $100 level requested my Nancy Pelosi impression... and then Britney Spears. 😂 I hadn’t performed either of those numbers in more than 15 years, so I definitely had to go into the vault, but somehow they (mostly) came screaming back.

The crowd was so warm, kind, and fun! I’m truly grateful to have been back as auctioneer for this event for the third year in a row. Congratulations Meals on Wheels Diablo Region and to the many seniors who will benefit from this generosity. 💖

And now, at long last... VACATION!! 🙌🏽🙌🏽

What an absolutely beautiful evening at ‘s Gathered Gala, supporting comfort, compassion, dignity, and extraordinary care for patients and families facing some of life’s most difficult moments—from serious illness and hospice care to grief support and beyond.

This organization is especially near and dear to my heart. By the Bay Health provided incredible support to me and my family when my Great Aunt Ollie left this world, and it was a gift to share my own personal story during the evening (which I definitely did not make through without some tears!). For those interested in reading it, I shared it in the comments 💖.

The generosity during the Paddle Raise was truly heartwarming. We received 5 gifts at the $25,000 level and more donations than ever before at 4 additional giving levels!! Thank you to everyone who showed up with so much heart, and congratulations to this extraordinary organization on such a successful and meaningful night. 💜🫶🏽

’s Empire Gala last night was truly epic. The transformation of was unbelievable, the costumes were incredible, and the heart, joy & generosity throughout the night were beyond.

In live fundraising alone, we raised a record-breaking nearly $913,000 — all in support of bridging the gap between the cost of tuition and the true cost of the full, extraordinary LTS education 🙏🏽🩵. Our top live auction sellers were our very first and very last items: re-naming the school drop-off loop, which sold for an incredible $25,000, and an exclusive, private stay at the historic Carnation Farms, which sold for $24,000 🙌🏽

There were so many highlights and the night was SO much fun, I could go on and on. I absolutely love this community, always love getting to see my beautiful friend from high school and love working with Team and the master herself, , who absolutely CRUSHED the production of this outstanding event!!!
What. A. Night.

Huge congratulations to LTS and the gala team, and thank you to this amazing community for showing up in such a big way and making a real difference ♥️.

20th Anniversary last night 🤩. A powerful evening supporting this remarkable organization that empowers women leaders around the world who are protecting ecosystems, strengthening communities, and creating a more resilient, sustainable future for all of us.

Thrilled to share that we well surpassed our stretch goal and I believe raised over $380,000 during our Paddle Raise! 🙌🏽 It was a beautiful night filled with joyful generosity, inspiring speeches, and incredible live art by WEA leader .

I LOVED working alongside this extraordinary team of badass women. They are changing our world for the better, and it was a true honor to be part of this milestone celebration with them and a room filled with beautiful humans dedicated to creating lasting change for our planet and communities 🙏🏽. Congratulations on an amazing night WEA — and thank you for all you do for all of us 🌎💚.

I received a very unexpected surprise in the mail — a generous bonus check from a recent new client. In my nearly 11 years as an auctioneer, this is only the second time that’s ever happened.

There’s a lot of time, energy & dedication that goes on behind the scenes for each event, and I really pour my heart into this work, so while something like this is absolutely never expected, it really meant a lot.

Feeling incredibly grateful to this client today — and to all my amazing clients who trust me to help represent their meaningful missions. 🤍

Back at Saturday night for one of my favorite events of the year — ’s CHEFS Gala ♥️. I’ve had the privilege of being the MC & Auctioneer for this event for the last 6 years, and somehow this amazing community makes it a record-breaking night every single year. We raised nearly $600,000 this year to help individuals and families permanently exit homelessness 🙏🏽.

A few highlights:
🌟 attended to present the evening’s award — and actually remembered me from when I played her in “Beach Blanket Babylon!” 😭
🌟 I got to see my pal of “Yan Can Cook,” who joined me on stage to help sell his live auction lot, raising a beautiful $21,000! (He also made a personalized video message for my husband that is the funniest thing ever 😂)
🌟 We had a record-breaking number of donations at every single paddle raise level except for one — our $250 level which still brought in 40 donations!
🌟 Along with several unexpected gifts at our highest levels, perhaps the most impressive were:
•17 donations at our $2,500 level (up from 6 last year!)
•51 donations at our $1,000 level (up from 24 last year!!!)
•107 donations at our $100 level (up from 77 last year!)

Many months of strategic planning meetings took place ahead of this event, and it just says so much about this beautiful community that every single strategy we implemented worked ♥️♥️

To ECS’ BEAUTIFUL, EXTRAORDINARY community — THANK YOU for showing up with somehow even bigger hearts and more generosity every single year. Your love and support are truly helping change and save so many lives. And congratulations to the entire dream team for putting on such a joyful, successful, unforgettable event! What a night!!
