Live Auction - Mamma`s Hands

Mamma’s Hands
Welcome
Welcome, Dear Friends!
Thank you for being here tonight to join us in celebrating the 25th
Anniversary of Mamma’s Hands.
Over the years, there have been many challenges and triumphs, with
a good measure of miracles thrown in. Today, as we look to the future,
we are still inspired to restore Hope to those in crisis.
Our inspiration comes from the homeless person living on the street
who’s Hope is ignited by a loved one encouraging them to come home
to start over. We’re inspired by the mother who reaches up for a
helping hand when life has beaten her down – reaching for the Hope
of a new life.
And, we are inspired by the incredible people who support our work
so that those less fortunate have a chance at a life of Hope and selfreliance. Our Deepest Thanks to Each of You!
As we celebrate tonight, we hope this evening inspires you to make
this event the most successful in our 25-year history!
Enjoy your evening!

Auctioneer
JOHN CURLEY
We are pleased to welcome back this
evening as our auctioneer, the ironman of
auctions, John Curley. According to his
daughter, Charlie, he was “once famous.”
The Emmy-award-winning host of Evening
Magazine is now the most sought-after
auctioneer in the Northwest. John will do
100 auctions this year and help to raise 2.1
million dollars a month. When not on stage,
John is doing one of the following: on Kiro
radio, serving on the Sammamish City Council,
training for an Ironman race, coaching his
boy’s flag football team or working on a project
around the house for his wife.
Emcee
SUZIE WILEY
Suzie Wiley is part of King5’s New Day
Northwest, a daytime talk show. You may
know Suzie as the Audience Coordinator, as
well as contributing her on-air segments and
stepping in to host from time to time. Talking
for a living is something Suzie has been doing
most of her life! Previously a news reporter
and anchor in Texas, she began producing
segments for nationally syndicated magazine
shows before crossing to the “dark side” into
public relations. Moving to Seattle brought on
a 10- year break from the TV business as she
dove headlong into activities and PTA with her
3 children. As an empty nester, Suzie and her
husband Scott are now focused (or obsessed if
you ask their kids) on their 4 yr old lab Cato.
They live in Sammamish.

Dessert Dash
Tonight you and your guests will have the opportunity to bid
for your dessert. We have received many wonderful desserts for you
to choose from, but exactly which dessert will be up to you and your
table guests and how high you all bid!
On your table you will find a sheet where you and your table guests
can each place a bid using your bidder number. Simply write in your
bidder number and your bid amount. All of the bids from your table
will be tallied. The total will be compared with the total from the
other tables in the room.
When the dash begins, the highest bidding table will be called to
come and make their dessert selection first, then the next highest
bidding table will be called to make their selection and so on…
Beware! Tables will be called rapidly. Your competition will
physically dash for their dessert and may steal your favorite choice
from under you. So listen carefully for your table number and
make your selection quickly-your table is counting on you!
Thank you to all of our participating donors!

THANK-YOU,
VOLUNTEERS!
Since our beginnings 25 years ago, our Volunteers have been at
the heart of our work.
Whether volunteering with the Phone Home program, at the
HOUSE of HOPE, or in another capacity, our Volunteers have
been Awe-Inspiring in their generosity and dedication of time, talent,
and effort.
To Every One of our Volunteers:
Thank You!
You are an Inspiration to us all!
We are so grateful for your spirit,
service and commitment!

PHONE HOME PROGRAM
He is somebody’s father, brother, son . . .
25 years ago, Denny Hancock’s chance encounter with a homeless father
and son made him determined to make a difference in the lives of those
living on the streets. With wife, Leslie, he founded Mamma’s Hands and
the Phone Home program.
25 years later, our Phone Home program still provides an innovative
opportunity for the homeless to connect with family, and perhaps, to
return home. Wednesday evenings, Denny takes volunteers to Seattle to
interact with the homeless: providing food, blankets, a listening ear, and
a free call to a loved one.
The bond between those who serve and those being served is one of
mutual trust and hope, and our volunteers gain an understanding of
the needs of the community and a joy that comes only through helping
others.
Our ultimate goal is to get the homeless off the streets and into the
arms of supportive loved ones – rekindling their hope and desire for a
productive life. Mamma’s Hands has reunited hundreds of homeless
with their families across the USA.

Welcome
THE HOUSE OF HOPE
For every child, a home. For every mother, hope.
In 1995, Denny & Leslie Hancock opened the HOUSE of HOPE to
provide a safe and secure living environment for women and their
children in crisis.
Patterned after the nationally recognized St. Martin de Porres shelter in
Chicago, and operating under “tough love” principles, our program offers
and connects with countless services to provide counseling, training, and
life-skills to our residents.
Most of the women we assist have left everything behind. Many are
fleeing domestic violence. Homeless and running out of options, they
have lost the hope of having a safe and stable life.
Our program enables them to break the cycle of dependency, regain
hope, dignity and self-esteem, and to move toward a positive and selfreliant future. They commit to life-altering changes that help them in the
transition to independent living.
Over the years, to meet the ever-increasing need, two additional homes
were added to our HOUSE of HOPE program.
Since its beginnings, the HOUSE of HOPE has given hundreds of women
and children the hope and reality of a better future.
Thank You for Your
Support!
