President’s Message Welcome! Tonight’s Miracles Because of You Auction is truly all because of YOU! Thank you to our sponsors, generous donors, attendees and volunteers for making tonight possible. Together with your help, Miracle House Guild has raised over $2.3 million to support Uncompensated Care at Seattle Children’s Hospital. With more than 119 years of service, Seattle Children’s Hospital is focused on accelerating breakthrough outcomes, supporting pediatric research, strengthening the system of care and driving lasting positive impact for patients and their families. If you’ve had a child or family member who needed the care offered at Seattle Children’s you know how difficult it is to focus on anything beyond the child’s health. Parents miss work, bills pile up. That’s why the Uncompensated Care Fund is critical. No family should have to choose between paying bills and getting their child the care they need. Together, we continue to commit to families across this region to provide world-renowned care, regardless of their ability to pay. Let's make Miracles happen tonight! Thank you!

Stokes Auction Group Ryan Massey Professional Auctioneer Ryan Massey’s first introduction to the art of auctioneering came during his college years at Oregon State University when Don Jones, a close friend and neighbor, took him to his first auction. Throughout the rest of his academic career, Ryan participated in many auctions and eventually began working full time in the auction business after attending OSU. In 1998, Ryan joined Stokes Auction Group as a bid spotter. As he attended more events, he came to love the positive energy and sense of community that each event fostered. In 2000, he graduated from Auctioneer College. While on stage, Ryan loves to bring his own brand of energy and enthusiasm to the stage. He feels that there is nothing better than the excitement of a crowd that is out in support of their cause, no matter what it may be. He views every event as a chance to support each unique community he encounters. When Ryan is not working in the auction business, he enjoys spending time with his family around their campfire.

Meet Cooper! Cooper was diagnosed with neuroblastoma in February 2023 at age 9. He was automatically considered high risk due to his older age and the fact that the cancer had spread through his bone marrow and into his lymph nodes. Neuroblastoma is more common in children under the age of five. It is a cancer that starts in young nerve cells called neuroblasts. In a healthy child, these cells become the nerves that control functions like heartbeat and blood pressure. In neuroblastoma, some of the neuroblasts do not mature. Instead, they grow into tumors. For our family, Cooper’s 18-month treatment schedule was challenging, to say the least, and not without its complications and permanent damage to his young body. But…we are so proud of his fight, his courage, and his unwavering positivity. Throughout his treatment Cooper continued to look forward to being back in school full-time, spending quality time with his twin sister, hanging with his friends, playing baseball, and just being a normal kid again! Our family is immensely grateful for the amazing care provided by Seattle Children’s Hospital doctors, nurses, and staff. Furthermore, the hope and financial stress relief the Uncompensated Care Fund provided allowed
10
us to concentrate on what mattered most…fighting this terrible disease and healing as a family. Tonight we are fortunate to be in a favorable position and we couldn’t have reached this milestone without SCH’s expertise and dedication. Cooper and our family as patient ambassadors, will continue to do everything we can to spread awareness, hope, and positivity. No child or family should have to experience pediatric cancer, and certainly not alone. At Seattle Children’s we didn’t have to. All the best! The Anderson family

7. Explore, Sip and Savor Three Nights in Napa & Amazing Wine Experiences Value $6,600 You will stay at the Harvest Inn, named the #1 Hotel in Northern California in the 2026 Condé Nast Traveler Readers’ Choice Awards, as your base for this next-level wine tasting experience where you will enjoy curated access to some of the most iconic wineries in the valley. This carefully crafted three-night package will introduce you to four extraordinary wineries. Each of these properties offers unique architecture, award-winning wines and a unique tasting experience. First: Chateau Montelena. In 1976, Montelena’s 1973 Chardonnay prevailed at the Judgment of Paris, a blind tasting that challenged centuries of convention and altered the course of fine wine history. The unexpected outcome sparked the American wine revolution and the winery’s international reputation, inspiring the film Bottle Shock. Second: VGS Chateau Potelle. How did the French respond? They sent Jean-Noel Fourmeaux to the Napa Valley to “spy” for 6 months. Seduced by the quality of the Napa Valley fruit, he sent a telegram home: “Looks good, I stay.” At Chateau Potelle, Jean-Noel’s expressive wines show creativity in a casual and welcoming tasting room. Third: Darioush. Here old world meets new world in a celebration of the history of wine. Drawing upon their family’s unique heritage and the cultural significance of
19
winemaking and hospitality in ancient Persia, this winery surrounds you with grandeur in a facility that feels like you have been transported in time to another continent. Fourth: Jarvis Estate welcomes you to the new Napa. This estate, located in the hills on the eastern side of the valley, features a 45,000-square-foot cave facility where award winning wines are created. The Jarvis Estate approach to crafting world-class wines differs from much of what is found elsewhere and the tasting is wonderful. 4 Beautiful Bottles: We have included a bottle from each of these wineries to create more anticipation for your trip. BONUS! 2 TICKETS to TASTE HOWELL MOUNTIAN! If you can schedule your adventure to Napa to include June 19th, 2027, you will also have two tickets to Taste Howell Mountain, an extravaganza of fabulous wines from 60 wineries and fabulous food from the Culinary Institute of America on the grounds of Charles Krug Winery - Napa Valley's Oldest Winery Estate. Note: Because these tastings are limited and very popular, your adventure needs to be scheduled with the wineries at least a month in advance to ensure availability. Also, the Napa Valley is large, and the tastings include multiple pours. We highly recommend planning to visit the two locations in the southern part of the valley on one day and the two in the northern part on a second day.
Thank you, Harvest Inn, Chateau Montelena, Chateau Potelle, Darioush Winery, Jarvis Estate, Taste Howell Mountain, Pat & Julie Riley and Dan & Amy Wick
