I was so honoured to be asked to join the Artists for Peace and Justice team for the 18th Annual at the Windsor Arms Hotel.
This night raised over $700,000 and the live auction was a moment to have some fun and come together to raise money for a great cause.
The always incredible Jann Arden received the Artists for Peace and Justice Impact Award and it was great to run into some familiar faces - Amanda Brugel I’m talking about you, girl!!!!
To Natasha Koifman Hendrikx, thank you for trusting me to take on APJ18 - you are a gem. 🖤🤍

The next few months are already shaping up to be a busy (and seriously exciting) event season!
I am ready to hit the road and make stops from coast to coast…and I am really looking forward to hitting new stages as well as seeing some familiar faces.
If you see me at an event, please give me the biggest hug you can.
Now go follow my amazing Fall clients!

Over $70 MILLION charitable dollars raised directly by Layne on stage… and still making fundraising FUN.
Layne has helped transform more than 1,700 events into unforgettable experiences where generosity and joy collide.
Because people don’t give because they’re pressured.
They give because they FEEL something.
You don’t have to become someone else to become better.
You just have to be brave enough to believe there’s more in you.
More courage.
More possibility.
More joy.
More impact.
So take the risk. Say yes to the thing that scares you. Give yourself permission to grow, change, stumble, start again and to keep going.
Your next chapter doesn’t need to look like anyone else’s. It just needs to be yours.

Still pinching myself… 🇬🇷✨
Greece has lived on my bucket list for as long as I can remember, and somehow I FINALLY got to wander its beautiful streets, watch the sunsets, eat all the incredible food, and soak in the magic of this place.
Forever grateful for the memories, the views, and the reminder that it’s never too late to book the trip you’ve always been dreaming about.

Working with great organizations always feels incredible.. and working alongside friends (Sara Ernest I’m talking about YOU) to take that organization’s event to the next level feels MAGICAL.
The TEAD Therapeutic Riding Centre golf tournament and gala this year was heartwarming and I’m so grateful to fundraise for such an important cause... and to spend time in my sparkly golf cart meeting golfers beforehand.
Fun times were had and the pics prove it 😉
