Happy Days…..

We walked into the last night and ran into
Needless to say it was a complete treat because, let’s face it, if you grew up in my era, Happy Days was “the show” Everything he has worked on since in front of the camera and behind has been fantastic.

Ron could not have been nicer! We saw him throughout the evening and he was so gracious to everyone!!

On a side note my twin brother did a little acting back in the day and the first bit part he had was in a Bitter Harvest with Ron Howard which was filmed in the early 80’s in Sonoma County.

A few years ago pre pandemic our dear friends Elizabeth and Stephen put together a wonderful group of people for opening night at the SF Opera. None of us new each other only the hosts.

It was a magical evening and we all became fast friends! We are officially the Opera Gang and even without the Opera we planned Zoom calls and trivia during the pandemic.

This past weekend we had our official gang back together, well most of us missing the host and Sandy. It was an evening full of great laughs and stories.

I love this group and so grateful for everyone in it!

Always accept the invite to the event or dinner even you don’t know anyone you might just meet an amazing group of new friends!

Thank you for getting there and back!

Tonight we honored my good friend Stephen Revertria at Holiday Heroes Bay Area. As we all know he is an incredible business leader but more importantly he supports so many philanthropic causes including the Wender Weis Foundation for Children.
Thank you, Stephen and Elizabeth Orsi Revetria for everything you have both done and continue to do to help others.
We are all so grateful for your work in our communities!

Holiday Heroes Bay Area takes Oracle Park field!

Holiday Heroes 2019 was one for the books! The evening was full of joy, music and magic while celebrating the 10th anniversary of the event and the 25th Anniversary of the Wender Weis Foundation for Children.

Founder Amy Elizabeth Wender-Hoch and Co-Chairs Emilie Lynch and Michelle Gilman Jasen truly outdid themselves with the vision for evening. We are so proud to work with such dedicated and passionate leaders in our community.

It truly takes a team to make the magic happen and Kelley O'Brien Events is so grateful to all the vendors who supported the event without hesitation and showed up with activities, product giveaways and holiday spirit. The incredible team at Oracle Park worked so hard for days making sure the ballpark was ready for all. Not even the rain could keep the kids off the field during the event. Athletes from all of the Bay Area teams came to spend time meeting everyone, taking photos and signing autographs. The Bay Area team mascot along with the front office team members joined in on the fun as well and brought trophies and more for all to see.

The evening was a night to remember! It was an honor to have San Francisco 49ers Jaquiski Tartt, former San Francisco 49ers Dennis T. Brown and the 49er Academy there to receive this years Inspiration Award. We also celebrated Sara Agah Franti and Michael Franti and Spearhead in attendance to receive the Community Philanthropist Award!

The evening had a few musical surprises including a performance by Christopher Henry Young from the Hamilton cast, Ricky Watters Jr. who was back by popular demand and an impromptu performance by Michael Franti.

Kristen Sze was the incredible emcee and Liam Mayclem was the most amazing auctioneer.

All in all it was a magnificent evening celebrating wonder and joy!

A week ago we had the great pleasure of attending the Smithsonian’s National Portrait Gallery, American Portrait Gala.

It was star studded to say the least, the event honored Frances Arnold, Jeffrey Bezos, Lin-Manuel Miranda, Indra Nooyi. Earth Wind & Fire and Anna Wintour. Each honoree is accomplished and well respected in their fields but we got a glimpse of their personal side as each honoree shared stories of their careers, family and passions when they accepted their awards.

A few of my favorite highlights, sitting at our table Indra Nooyi, she is brilliant and paved the way for so many women we owe her so much, James Corden was hilarious and I am huge fan from the Gavin & Stacy days and of course Earth Wind and Fire who had had the pleasure of working with many years ago on a very special celebration for a client.

If you have not had a chance to visit the National Portrait Gallery you must put it on your bucket list, it is simply stunning with so much to see. We are lucky that we have a public treasure like this.
