Joy Behar
I was the lucky winner of The View tickets and a meet and greet with Joy Behar. First, the staff at the show was very, very nice. They treated myself and my best friend like VIP's. We had great seats, were able to go into the Green Room, and were able to do a meet and greet with not just Joy, but the other ladies as well, although we didn't get too close to Whoopie, as she was suffering from the flu. We were able to take lots of pictures and Joy was every bit as nice as I thought she would be! Thanks a lot CharityBuzz, you are the greatest!
Wow! As a loyal Law & Order: SVU fan, I was so excited to learn that I had won the auction to have lunch and a tour of the set with the one and only Tamara Tunie. From the moment we walked into the building, everyone we came into contact with was so nice! Tamara is as lovely on the inside as she is on the out. She only had one scene to shoot (which, I am proud to say, she shot in one take!), but she stayed on set with us and made sure we had an opportunity to meet all of the cast and crew working that day. The experience was one that I know I will treasure. The funds went for a terrific cause. Thank you, Tamara for partnering with charitybuzz to make this experience possible.
Mariel Hemingway
My wife and I purchased "tea with Mariel Hemingway in Los Angeles" although we live in Denver. When we got ready to schedule it, it turned out that Mariel was going to be in Denver that week. So tea with Mariel Hemingway, turned into having a star over for lunch. We sat outside on our patio and had a couple hours to eat and chat with this amazing lady. She could not have been nicer or more generous with her time. My wife and I agreed that it was one of the top three days of our lives. We were so glad we bid on the auction."
Dita Von Teese
Just a note to tell you what an amazing experience it was to meet Dita Von Teese and how charming both she and her manager, Melissa were with us. The show at the Crazy Horse was wonderful all by itself but getting to spend a few minutes with Dita and Melissa backstage was a moment I won't forget any time soon. My daughter, Camille, flew over from Scotland to see the show with me. She loved it!
“Thank you again for helping me get this meet and greet organized.”
Carson Kressley
Cindy and I won a shopping excursion with Carson Kressley through charitybuzz and the experience was over-the-top from start to finish! We had such a great time — so much that Carson invited us to meet him backstage at a Cyndi Lauper concert! We have won so many items through charitybuzz and are thrilled with our experiences every time.”
Julia Louis-Dreyfus
I had a great experience with charitybuzz.com. I had decided to support the RFK Center by purchasing one of their items during their auction held by charitybuzz. I won a bid for a package donated by Julia Louis-Dreyfus that included autographed DVDs, tickets to her show, a cast autographed script, and a meet-and-greet with her. I had never participated in an online auction before, but the Auction Specialist, Erin W., made the process extremely easy and in fact enjoyable. I worked with her throughout the entire post-purchase process as she patiently answered my many questions and coordinated our plans efficiently. Ms. Louis-Dreyfus and her associates were also very gracious and accommodating. In short, I had a wonderful experience with charitybuzz auctions, and I would definitely do it again!”
Bette Midler
Walter, John and I would like to thank you and charitybuzz for the opportunity to attend the show and to meet Bette Midler on New Year’s Eve. As a long time fame of Bette it was beyond a life-long dream for me. I knew the show would be spectacular (as Walter and I saw the show in October) and it was. The opportunity to meet with Bette was something out of a movie. She was gracious, engaging and it was a larger than life experience. You, and Bette’s staff were a pleasure to work with and we look forward to doing more with charitybuzz in the near future.
“I cannot thank all of you enough!”
Russell Simmons
Recently my parents gave me (for my 18th birthday) a yoga session with Russell Simmons. It was an auction item from his Diamond Empowerment Fund. The experience was amazing! Mr. Simmons was an extremely gracious host and made me feel very at ease and comfortable. The staff at the yoga school were very nice and helpful. Mr. Simmons explained that yoga was more than just exercise, but it was also a spiritual experience as well. The yoga experience with Russell Simmons was one I will cherish and never forget.”
Cameron Diaz
Ashton Kutcher
Meeting Cameron Diaz was an experience of a lifetime. We will never forget sitting in her trailer, eating pizza, watching her assistants put make-up on her, talking about everything from the environment to the tabloids. We even had another surprise — Ashton Kutcher came in the trailer to say ‘hi’. Wow!! All we could do was turn red and smile.”
Selena Gomez
Several months ago I noticed my daughter would rush to her laptop the moment she arrived home from school and after some investigation I found out that she was watching a charitybuzz auction for a shopping spree with Selena Gomez (her #1 favorite actress!). When I questioned her about the auction, she told me about Selena's charity, Island Dog, and the wonderful work they were doing to rescue abandoned and injured dogs in Puerto Rico. Although she never asked me to bid on the auction, I knew that meeting Selena and contributing to such a worthy cause would mean the world to her.
“Once we won the auction, we were contacted by Erin who helped to coordinate our trip and she provided a level of attention that made us feel like VIPs. I think Erin was almost as excited as we were about the trip and as the date drew nearer, I wondered whether our expectations might be too high. I've never been so wrong about anything in my entire life. Selena and her parents were amazing! Within minutes of meeting, Selena and my daughter were laughing and talking as if they had known each other for years. And, Selena's parents were so genuine and 'down to earth' that I enjoyed myself as much as my daughter.
“As parents we want to be able to make our children's dreams come true and this trip could not have been more perfect. Thank you to Erin and charitybuzz for making it possible. And, thank you to Selena, Mandy, and Brian for giving us memories that will last a lifetime!”
Anderson Cooper
A friend & colleague, who is a charitybuzz winner herself, first told me about the Anderson Cooper | RFK Center Auction, and I couldn't resist bidding, though I was still amazed when I actually won. The experience of meeting with Anderson Cooper and watching his show tape live was a once-in-a-lifetime experience that we will never forget."
