Your past doesn’t define you — your resilience does!👊💯 Sam Darnold was once written off…
Labeled a bust…
Cast aside from team to team.
But today? He’s a Super Bowl champion with the Seahawks!!!🏆

From doubters to believers…
from journeyman to champion…
He didn’t just show up — he evolved, persevered, and rewrote his narrative on the biggest stage of all!🟢💙

Celebrating the sweet sounds of turning 16!!!🥳🎂🎉

It was hard for me not to smile while holding this puppy🐶--while being grateful The NOAH Center recently rescued 24 puppies living in deplorable conditions in a camped trailer near Yakima. The were vulnerable and had nowhere to go. Without hesitation, The NOAH Center took them in, cared for them, and is finding them loving homes! 👏

The NOAH Center, Washington State's first no-kill animal shelter, rescued over 4,000 animals last year alone—bringing its total to nearly 60,000 lives saved since it first opened. 🐾🐈‍⬛🐕

It's part of the reason it was such an honor for me to serve as host and auctioneer for "Laugh Your Tail Off" this past Friday, as more than 400 people showed up for a live auction, paddle raise, and comedy night to support The NOAH Center and stop the euthanasia of health dogs and cats! 🥳

Big thanks to Stacie Ventura, Jennifer Holocker, and all the dedicated NOAH Center staffers and volunteers who worked so hard to make the event such a success! 🙌

Thanks to volunteer and auction reader for the night, the dynamic Nathan Bogle, who joined me on stage for the FUN!🎤

Props to the hilarious comedian Zoltan Kaszas -- who absolutely crushed it! 🤣

And THANK YOU to all of the generous donors who showed up and stepped up, so we can find more loving homes for adoptable pets!🐱🐶
