"What can I assure you is that my country needs JRH," says Awami. "This small organization is making so much change in my country." -
Emotional and powerful speech from Awami. He steps off the stage as the live auction takes over.
-
"Tonight is about what you can give," says the lovely auctioneer Linda Leja.

Auctionista Linda Leja is talking faster than anyone else I've met. The crowd is having fun bidding on an internet-connected tablet used by JHR journalists.

Air Canada suite for seeing a Raptor's game along with a meet and greet of Masai Ujiri up next.

The room falls silent as Ujiri takes the mic. "You can come to the practice too," he says. Bids pour in.
