A Date Auction Model's Perspective

It was a privilege to have the opportunity to participate in Dream Date for Hope as a model. During the pre-event stages I was excited about this interesting concept of a Date Auction. However, my energy soon turned into apprehension...was I really selling myself? Will this change how people view me? However, after I heard the Szott family speak, all of those fears diminished. It didn't matter if I made a fool of myself. I didn't care if I looked silly or if the MCs shared an embarrasing story about me (which they did). :) After I thought more about WHY we were doing this, I felt honored to be a part of it. Women In Business members worked so hard to make this auction happen; their perseverance helped the Szott Foundation help other families in need. Talk about the circle of giving! And hey- some of us got some pretty cool dates out of it. :) Nice job to everyone involved including those who came to support us!
