What a night!!! Over $1 mil was raised for the @srfcure and we all had the honor of presenting @johnstamos with the Bob Saget Legacy Award! It truly was a special night and I know Bob was looking down beaming with tears in his eyes, so grateful that everyone continues to show up for him and this cause that meant so much to him… Bob’s goal was to help eradicate Scleroderma, the awful disease that took the life of his sister, Gay, in 1994. Thanks to him and to the incredible efforts of the Scleroderma Research Foundation over the past several decades, we are now closer to a cure than ever!

since Bob passed, I took over one of his duties, booking incredible comedians for Cool Comedy Hot Cuisine. This year, I asked the brilliantly hilarious @fortunefeimster, @themattfriend @jaypharoah, @lisaannwalter, @ronfunches and @sethgreen to perform (Seth co-hosted the auction) and of course, everyone was glad to show up for Bob and for the cause!

And a special thank you. to the endlessly generous @johnmayer for donating an incredible package to one of his shows at Sphere Las Vegas next year- that package alone raised $150,000!

Another special thank you to @therealjeffreyross - truly, the host with the most. You have filled Bob’s hosting duties so effortlessly and so spectacularly, truly nobody could do it better. We all love you so much, Jeff, and are so grateful to you!

Thank you to @susanfeniger for your delicious cuisine, creativity, and hard work every single year. I can’t believe you have done over 45 of these events since the very first Sharon Monsky started the SRF. Bob loved you so much!

Thank you to SRF for trusting me each year to continue to help fight for a cure! That’s the biggest honor of my life to continue to support Bob’s legacy!

Oh wait, one more thing, thank you to my incredible boyfriend, @breckinmeyer for showing up for me, the foundation, and Bob, for the last 3 years. It takes a strong ass incredible man to do what you do!

and thank you, my angels of stepdaughters @aubreysaget and @larasaget - Stepmommy Kelly loves you! And @adam.saget you produce the most incredible event every year, your uncle would be so proud! Love you!
