The Club at Castlewood’s inaugural Gala Dinner in support of Hope Hospice 🫶🏽.

Nearly $450,000 raised (and counting!) for this very deserving organization that provides extraordinary, compassionate care to individuals and families facing some of life’s most difficult moments, regardless of their ability to pay 🙏🏽🩵. The live auction alone brought in a beautiful $115,000 with just 7 items — including two totally unplanned items generously offered up on the spot!

The Castlewood community was so incredibly generous, kind, warm and welcoming — and SO much fun!! They were very excited to hear some singing 🤣, so we got an extra 6 donations at the $1,000 level for one song, and then I challenged the room to get 40–50 donations at the $250 level for another… and we got 67!! It was really fun to get to debut a couple of Dolly Parton songs for this one 💖🎶

I’m so thrilled it was such a successful night— AND it was a GREAT surprise seeing an old friend from my freshman year at Santa Clara! What a gift to be part of this beautiful night.

Last night marked my 6th year as auctioneer for Ceres Community Project ‘s annual Harvest of the Heart Gala 💚🌻

We blew past our goals for yet another record-breaking night, raising nearly $600,000 (and counting!) in support of this wonderful organization that provides healthy, medically tailored, made-with-love meals to those facing serious illnesses — while also empowering teens to learn essential culinary skills and discover the difference they can make in the lives of others.

Our cake auction alone raised about $10,000, and our top live-auction item of the night — a private dinner led by Rob Hogencamp (Ceres’ very first Executive Chef!) along with Ceres teens — raised an incredible $33,000!!! 🙌🏽

I love this community so much and getting to see so many familiar, happy faces year after year. A huge congratulations to Ceres on a very well-deserved successful night! What a joy!! 💚

Thank you, SONOMA, for another record-breaking night of fundraising for the Sonoma Community Center 2026 MUSE! 🙌🏽

After years of working primarily with San Francisco nonprofits, SCC became my very first Sonoma client back in 2019 (thanks John Gurney!), and I’ve had the joy of serving as MC & auctioneer for the MUSE ever since (with the exception of 2024!). 💖

Such a joy to see so many friends and supporters of the community come together last night to support this wonderful place, and to celebrate this year’s 2026 Muse — YOU — aka the best community ever!!

It was so much fun getting to host SCC’s very own 1950s version of The Ed Sullivan Show — featuring live performances, special guests, a surprise one-item live auction (that was really fun!!), a surprise runway walk from a 10-year-old Trashion Fashion star who stole the whole show, and a record-breaking paddle raise!! We had more donations than ever before at our top giving levels AND crushed our goal of 74 donations at the $100 level in honor of SCC’s 74 years — we got 86!! 🙌🏽

It takes an extraordinary team and an extraordinary community all coming together with their enormous hearts to make this kind of magic happen!! THANK YOU to everyone who helped make this night so spectacular! 💖

Quick trip to beautiful Aspen, Colorado for Theatre Aspen’s Summer Gala!

Thanks to the incredible love and generosity in the room, we raised more than $1.1 million — a record-breaking year supporting this wonderful organization 💜. Our 4 live auction items alone brought in nearly $200,000! 🙀 Just amazing!!

We got to enjoy fabulous live performances from Theatre Aspen’s Performance Apprentices and Tony & Grammy Award-winning artist John Lloyd Young — sooo beautiful and captivating!!

Congratulations, Theatre Aspen! What an absolute joy. ✨

An absolutely beautiful evening at B.R. Cohn Winery supporting the power, connection and joy that art brings for Sonoma Valley Museum of Art’s “Joy Through Art” Gala.

My first experience in a Waymo! Success!

Sonoma!! I’m so excited to be returning as MC & Auctioneer for the Sonoma Valley Museum of Art Gala in just a few weeks on Friday, July 24th at B.R. Cohn Winery! 🙌🏽🙌🏽 Who’s coming?! 🎨✨

This beautiful evening brings our community together to celebrate the power of art while supporting the museum’s exhibitions, education programs, and outreach. And I absolutely LOVE this year’s theme: “Joy Through Art.” 😍

Joy has become a guiding word in my life over the years — so much so that I even have “Joy” tattooed on my wrist after my first retreat at Silent Stay Meditation Center (photo included). Clearly I was preparing for this year’s SVMA Gala 🤣.

It’s going to be a magical wine country evening filled with delicious food & wine, wonderful people, outstanding live & silent auctions, and tons of joy in support of the arts.

Be sure to grab your tickets at SVMA.org so you don’t miss it!! I really hope to see many of you there! 💜

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!! 🙌🏽🙌🏽
