I was so honored to be the host of the live auction at the Mask-or-Aid Ball for the Domestic Violence Center last night…  it’s an organization that does amazing work and it’s a cause that I’m personally very passionate about.  Cavs Coach Mike Brown was there with his lovely wife Carolyn who was the Chair of the event… he even got up and helped me auction off a super cool Cavs package (ride on the team plane to an away game, tix, signed LeBron stuff)! 

For those who have been hurt by domestic violence, they are there to help.

Domestic violence occurs in homes throughout every community. It knows no color, gender, age or socioeconomic status. The abuse can be physical, mental, sexual or emotional. And as a victim of domestic violence, you may feel like there’s nowhere to turn. But there’s hope. SAFELY VISIT THE WEBSITE:  www.domesticviolencecenter.org OR CALL THE 24 HOUR HELPLINE AT 216-391-HELP.  YOU ARE NOT ALONE.

HERE’S SOME PIX FROM OUR NIGHT AT THE RENAISSANCE HOTEL:

This is Tim Boehnlein the Associate Director of the Domestic Violence Center… and my co-auctioneer!

Danita Harris from Newschannel 5 was the Mistress of Ceremonies

Carolyn Brown was the chair of the event

I even got to meet her husband, NBA Coach of the Year Mike Brown

Johanna Orozco is one of the bravest gals I’ve ever met.  Her boyfriend shot her in the face - and she has told her story to help other women that are victims.  Read about her here:  http://tinyurl.com/c855ur

Cavs Coach Mike Brown got up and helped us auction off a Cavs Package that included a ride on the team plane and autographed LeBron shoes and jersey!  2 packages went for $8500 each!  WOW!

Yep, there was some “Electric Slide-ing” to be done… booogie woogie oogie
