Three years in a row! I’m so proud to be part of the transformation of this event.

As Moffitt’s signature gala event, the Magnolia Ball raises funds to support cancer research, bringing us ever closer to new treatments and cures. The evening is a celebration; of courageous patients, of the extraordinary work of scientists and physicians and of new discoveries.

I’ll be back in Tampa on February 14th 2026 for the Magnolia Ball, and I can’t wait!

“My team and I have had the pleasure to work with Tom for the last two years as an auctioneer for our annual Magnolia Ball – Moffitt Cancer Centers largest fundraiser. In a room of 700+ people, he manages to do an amazing job keeping the donor’s attention and engaging the audience. He does wonderful with pushing the envelope, but not too much. Both years, he has helped us crush our event goals for both the live auction and paddle raise, raising over 5.3 million dollars this year! He is an absolute pleasure to work with, has great ideas, is professional and helpful. If you are looking for a wonderful auctioneer for your event, don’t hesitate to call Tom!”
