2025 Emcee and Auctioneer

We are thrilled to welcome back Kaci Aitchison as our Emcee and Matt Lorch as our Auctioneer.

Uncork the Night has been a treasured tradition, and thanks to this community, it has helped us accomplish so much for Bellevue’s children. After years of unforgettable evenings filled with generosity and community, we’ve decided to close this beloved chapter on a high note.

We’re evolving, just as our community’s needs have evolved, to reimagine new, meaningful ways to deepen, elevate, and maximize our collective impact. With the rising costs of hosting an event of this scale, combined with the time spent on the event, we’ve found that it is no longer sustainable for our mission to host it each fall. As thoughtful stewards of your investment, we’ve realized we can make an even greater impact by redirecting those resources directly into services that prevent hunger and homelessness.

Sunsetting Uncork the Night creates space to innovate and focus more directly on mission-aligned partnerships. Moving forward, we’re excited to focus on more intimate, mission-driven gatherings that will provide opportunity for deeper connection and intentional conversations with the people who make this work possible: people like you.

This final gala is a moment to reflect on the past and invest in what comes next.
