Wild Hair Auctions and Events

✨ RADICAL GENEROSITY. ✨

That’s the only way to describe what we experienced at SALUD benefiting Escuela de Guadalupe this weekend! ❤️

The energy was electric, the vibe was perfect, and the donors showed up READY to make a difference. And wow, did they deliver!

Behind every incredible event is a team that makes it look effortless. Zoe and Caroline, you absolutely knocked it out of the park! Every detail was thoughtfully executed, creating the perfect space for generosity to shine.

For the fourth year, Wild Hair Auctions had the honor of being part of this special evening. Escuela de Guadalupe’s commitment to bilingual education, opportunity, and empowering the next generation is a mission worth showing up for, year after year.

We may play just a small part in the evening, but getting to witness a room full of people come together and give so generously? That’s why we do what we do.

Congratulations to the entire Escuela de Guadalupe community on an unforgettable night. Thank you for trusting us to help tell your story and inspire generosity. ❤️

Still thinking about the Access Mode Colorado Innovators Breakfast and the incredible people and stories that filled that room.

From the fireside chat with Dr. Andre Perry and DDES alumni parent Marisol Solarte-Erlacher, to hearing directly from the women’s cohort, to intern Sofia’s beautiful words about the person who inspires her most, her sister, the morning was such a powerful reminder of what can happen when talent is met with access and opportunity.

And that is exactly what Access Mode is creating.

Access Mode works to remove barriers for BIPOC tech founders by connecting them with the mentorship, education, capital, networks, and community they need to take an idea from prototype toward a viable, growing company. It isn’t simply about opening a door it’s about making sure talented founders have the resources and relationships to walk through it and thrive. (Access Mode)

Simone absolutely rocked the program, and Wild Hair Auctions was honored to play our small part by running registration and helping welcome everyone into the room.

I also loved getting to support co-founder and CEO Zaneta Kelsey and the incredible work she has built, along with Arieze, Lissah, and the team who put so much into making this morning happen.

We walked in to help with an event.

We walked out inspired.

And saying inspired honestly feels like an understatement.

What a morning. What a mission. What an incredible community of innovators. ❤️

Small crowd. Mighty impact. 💪🏔️

Tonight with Women’s Wilderness was one of those reminders that you don’t need a packed ballroom to create something powerful. You need people who are committed, who believe in the mission, and who are willing to create room for others.

And this room showed up.

We were completely moved by Zeinab — the first Afghan woman to complete a half IRONMAN. Let that sink in. But her accomplishments are only part of what makes her remarkable. She is strong, funny, fearless, an absolute badass…and a VERY hard act to follow when you’re the auctioneer handed the microphone next. 😂

Her story was such a beautiful reflection of what Women’s Wilderness does: creating spaces where women and girls can take up room, find their strength, build confidence and discover that they are capable of more than they imagined.

That was the heart of our paddle raise tonight.

Create room.
Room to belong.
Room to be brave.
Room to try something hard.
Room to discover just how powerful you already are.

Small but mighty crowd and they understood the assignment. ❤️

So grateful Wild Hair Auctions got to be a small part of making that room a little bigger tonight.

I love taking the mic — but I genuinely love supporting other auctioneers from the floor just as much. ❤️

I’ve had the privilege of ringing for Seth the last two years, and apparently I’ve also committed to the same dress, different color scheme. 😂

There’s something so fun about being in the crowd — finding the bidders, keeping the energy up, celebrating the big moments, and helping the auctioneer make the most of the room. Nights like this remind me just how important a great ring team is.

And speaking of great ring teams…Summit Auctioneers Collective is looking to add a few more ringmen/ring people to our crew!

If you’re outgoing, comfortable approaching people, can bring the energy and think you’d have fun working fundraising events with us, I’d love to hear from you.

Because sometimes I’m happiest with the mic in my hand… and sometimes I’m perfectly happy yelling from the floor. 😉

What an incredible, thoughtful experience at Perfectly Made AF. ✨

From a mobile planetarium created by CU students to aura photography, tarot and face readers, interactive painting—with a big live-auction reveal—and delicious drinks from 303 SoBar, every detail invited us to connect, reflect and experience something new.

Kelly, as always, spoke from the heart about her brother and her own journey through The Path. Romeo challenged us to help fund someone’s next life, fund the turning point and be the ripple—and the donors answered.

I’m honored to have played a small part in this beautiful second event. Tonight was proof that you don’t need alcohol to enjoy a truly out-of-this-world evening. 💫

What a day for Adams Camp! ⛳️

The Sanctuary is absolutely unreal and the golfers came ready to give. Together, we topped last year’s fundraising total in support of the life-changing work that happens through 5 days, 5 kids and 5 therapists.

Adams Camp doesn’t just serve the child. They support the whole family and everyone is better for it.

This one was extra special because it was one of my last events working alongside Coleman before he heads off on his big New Zealand adventure.

Grateful to be part of another incredible day for this incredible mission. 💚

Last week SECOR Cares celebrated 20 years in true Roaring 20s style and what a night it was. The community showed up ready to give, and they absolutely stepped up to support neighbors facing food insecurity right here in our suburbs.

The attire? Incredible. Sequins, feathers, fringe…people committed to the theme and made the room feel electric. And as always, Brie and Lisa completely killed it bringing the vision to life.

Honored to be back for another year supporting an organization that continues to lead with dignity, compassion, and real impact. Here’s to 20 years of caring for this community and to the next 20.
