And I don’t mean a bag of skittles! Skittles, a sweet 8 week old purebred Shih Tzu puppy found a new loving home at the Holy Rosary School Heart Auction this past Saturday. Among other items of great interest was the “Girls Night Out at Palisades,” and a signed Pearl Jam poster for $1800. It was a great evening of fun and high bidding – totaling over $220,000! Congratulations.

The dice were flying and the bidding was furious at the annual Casino Night & Auction benefiting the Crohn’s & Colitis Foundation here in Seattle. Over $60,000 was raised with patrons walking away with VIP Pearl Jam concert tickets, Dinner with Nancy Leson, a Sayulita getaway just to mention a few.
Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis affect both children and adults. My sister was diagnosed over 30 years ago and today lives a very active life despite the occasional flareup and trip to the ER. Having a local chapter in our own backyard has been most helpful.

Members of the community gathered at Salty’s on Alki to support the Southwest Seattle Historical Society and raised over $37,000 to support and fund the projects of the Log House Museum. Guest speaker was Dave Beck, local broadcaster who moved to West Seattle in 1969 followed by the Hallberg family sisters who shared stories about mom and dad, Bob and Ada who met on Alki as kids, fell in love and lived their lives in ‘paradise’ – West Seattle. They told of their own worldwide journeys that led them each back home to West Seattle.

Spectators with fancy suits and glorious hats swarmed the ‘racetrack’ for an evening of cocktails, bidding, and dinner at the 34th Annual Holy Rosary Heart Auction 2013. Guests were encouraged to ‘show, place or win’ as they tried to outbid one another for some wonderful auction items.

I personally don’t have children but I am more than honored to be part of the local auctions where kids are concerned. Parents and friends of the Fauntleory Children’s Center opened their hearts and their wallets at the 26th Annual FCC Auction this past weekend. Hosted by auctioneer Bob Watt and former mayor Greg Nickels, the two of them helped boost sales to well over $10,000! There were some great silent auction items including children’s skis, the wildly anticipated dessert dash, and some friendly bidding wars. You can view all the images from the evening festivities by clicking here!
It was a grand party for the local Crohn’s & Colitis chapter as they hosted their CCFA Casino Night & Auction at 415 Westlake. Bidding was exciting as guests vied for trips, tickets to Pearl Jam concerts, chef’s dinner party and more. Nancy Leson was on hand to share her involvement with CCFA. Of course, there were some exciting moments on the casino floor as well….click here for more images
“Stand Tall for History” was the theme of this year’s Southwest Seattle Historical Society Gala. Held at Salty’s on Alki we ate a delicious lunch and listened to Paula Beck and Alan J. Stein, authors of “The Future Remembered: The 1962 Seattle World’s Fair and Its Legacy” as we gazed in wonder at the Space Needle which was bathed in red reminiscent of 1962! It’s a tall order being the keeper of our local history and the historical Society and its Log House Museum should be commended for keeping our history alive.

It was a great day for a benefit auction at Dirt Fish Rally School in honor of a young up and coming race car star by the name of Molly Helmuth. Her Fund A Dream campaign will pay for her racing education, her race car team and of course all those car parts. I’ve heard that she can run with the big boys without flinching. You Go Girl! Take a peek at all the pics from her great auction by clicking here.
It was the 6th Annual Spring Champgne Brunch & Auction for The Kenney in West Seattle. Family, friends and supporters gathered to raise a glass and raise some money for The Resident Life Care Fund. Keynote speaker was photographer Nick Del Calzo, who conceives and produces his own photographic projects that advance human values. Being a photographer myself I was in awe of his great talent. His black and white images truly capture the human spirit. Look for his book “Medal of Honor: Portraits of Valor Beyond the Call of Duty”.
In the meantime take a peek at the fun these folks had….
Carnival de FCC – Come Celebrate
March 24th was the 25th Annual Auction and Dinner for the Fauntleroy Children’s Center that benefits the children, families and staff of FCC. Many local celebrities were in attendance including Bob Watt, Auctioneer; King TV’s Jim Dever and former mayor Greg Nickels.
The “Carnival” theme was exciting with brightly colored banners and stilt walkers! But I think my favorite part is the Dessert Dash! Lots of money is raised as tables pool their monies to try and get their favorite desserts. Early on you could find guests studying the table and eyeing their first choice. No one was disappointed. I think this cake says it best:
