Finding the right speaker is about more than filling a spot on the agenda. It's about creating an experience your audience will remember. Here's what event organizers have to say about working with Leigh.

“Thank you so much for once again sharing your talent with us at this year’s Chefs Against Cancer Gala. More importantly, thank you for the five years you have supported our mission and helped us raise funds for local cancer charities.
Having you as our benefit auctioneer and emcee truly makes such a difference to the evening. You bring the room together, keep everything moving, and help create the energy that makes the Gala so special.
The feedback from this year’s event has been absolutely amazing. We believe we raised just over $148,000 this year, making this our most successful Gala to date. We could not achieve results like this without people like you who continue to give their time and talent year after year.”
With Deep appreciation and love,
~ Chef Mark Allison & Jaclyn
