2009 Dinner Auction Breaks Fundraising Record
More than 500 guests joined host Lenny Wilkens, family, and friends in the Hyatt Regency Bellevue’s Grand Ballroom to raise a record-breaking amount for the Odessa Brown Children’s Clinic, which provides healthcare and education services to children in struggling families. At this kickoff to the 16th Annual Lenny Wilkens Celebrity Classic Weekend, the crowd enjoyed an elegant meal capped with a high-energy auction and roof-raising progressive pop performances by rising national stars The EriAm Sisters. MC Jesse Jones, KING-5 News investigative reporter by day, kept the evening moving with style and grace, and auctioneer Bob Watt drove bidding ever higher, assisted by KING-5 Weekend Morning News anchor Meg Coyle.
