4TH Annual Dining to Deliver Gala & Auction

SATURDAY, JUNE 14, 2025

Blackhawk Museum, Danville

Enjoy an elegant evening of good food, complimentary wine, amazing auction items, dancing to a live band, and tons of fun all for a good cause. This popular event brings together the community with the goal of raising funds to help Meals on Wheels Diablo Region continue to deliver nutritious meals and supportive services to the growing number of seniors in our county. Someday, you or someone you love may need Meals on Wheels Diablo Region, and your participation as a guest, sponsor, or an auction item donor, will ensure we will be there today, tomorrow and into the future.

Meet Our Gala Auctioneer!

gala auctioneer Ellen Toscano, the Singing Auctioneer, has been a professional singer, actress, and stage performer most of her life. After graduating from New York University's prestigious Tisch School of the Arts in 2005, Ellen spent ten years as a lead performer in the longest-running musical revue in the world - San Francisco's "Beach Blanket Babylon."

With the dream of combining her two greatest passions of performing and helping others in a profound way, she began her journey as a charity auctioneer in 2016. She quickly realized that she could use her musical abilities and skills as an entertainer to help nonprofits like MOW Diablo Region!
