Hallie Peilet Young, CFRE, BAS has always been a storyteller driven by a desire to make a difference. With a distinguished career in journalism, Hallie, a TEDx Speaker and former TV news anchor and reporter, focused on impactful stories that touched lives. However, as the pandemic hit, the news industry shifted even more towards negativity, pushing Hallie to seek more meaningful work. This led her to become the Development Director at The Haven, a 501(c)3 organization serving individuals with disabilities.

At The Haven, Hallie found her calling. She created fundraising campaigns centered around powerful client stories. She also spearheaded the organization’s first gala in their 70-year history, creating an emotional mission moment video and leading a heartfelt "bid from the heart" on stage. The event was a tremendous success, netting over $200,000, and Hallie discovered her true passion: using love, connection and powerful storytelling to drive fundraising success. Now she travels around the country taking the stage for various nonprofits at their fundraising events. She and Jennifer have a 100% success rate of either meeting or exceeding their clients' live auction and paddle raise goals.
