QUIROGA
Greg Quiroga is the San Francisco Bay Area’s
premiere fundraising auctioneer and has been
conducting fundraising auctions for non-profit
organizations across the United States since 2004.
In a normal year, he works with over 50 non-profits,
schools, foundations, arts organizations, and
charities to help raise over $15 million.
With the outbreak of Covid-19 and the advent of
social distancing protocols that shut down in-person
event fundraising, Greg shifted his focus to virtual
fundraising opportunities. He quickly became one
of the thought leaders in the virtual event space.
His bi-weekly “How to Implement a Virtual Gala”
webinar series consistently attracted 100 attendees
in real-time and continues to be his most popular
video series online.
Greg has conducted over 30 virtual galas since
March of 2020 and helped non-profits raise over
$6,750,000 online. His virtual events have run the
gamut from low-fi self-produced webinars to high-
end, in-studio productions and have included donors
from San Francisco, Texas, New York, London, Beirut,
and Hong Kong.

PROGRAM
Engaging children in the wonders of art has been a primary
mission of the Nelson-Atkins since it opened its doors in
1933. Since that time, hundreds of thousands of children have
discovered the transformative power of creativity in hands-on
experiences that brought them face-to-face with masterpieces
spanning 5,000 years of history. At the beginning of 2020, the
museum was poised to serve 55,000 children through field
trips, classes and workshops.
Suddenly, those tours, classes and workshops were grounded
to a halt with the rise of the pandemic. Virtual offerings were
quickly assembled, both for children and parents — who just
as suddenly became teachers. Through the commitment of
the museum’s talented staff, volunteers and artists, virtual
tutorials were created to activate these young minds remotely.
Children were able to tour the museum from home and ask
questions using virtual chat features. And while this necessary
pivot has successfully kept children engaged and inspired,
it has coincided with a steep decline in financial resources.
With no in-person events, special exhibitions or visitors,
the museum fulfilled its mission on the strength of staff
dedication. But, now, your help is desperately needed.
Your support of our Fund-a-Need Program pays for teachers,
art materials and high-quality instruction during the most
challenging time in the museum’s history. We look forward
to a time when it is safe for all of us to be together, but until
then, you’re invited to be a part of the solution as the museum
continues to provide children with rich and memorable art
experiences in a virtual setting.

4PENGUINS
ON A FIELD TRIP
Artist Lisa Goren is a painter out of Boston whose
series of work has most recently focused on animals in
“human” spaces during the pandemic. Lisa has created
a beautiful 22x30 custom piece depicting penguins
from the Kansas City Zoo visiting the Nelson-Atkins.
And thanks to Nelson-Atkins Director & CEO Julián
Zugazagoitia and Kansas City Zoo Director Randy
Wisthoff, Lisa was able to use real video footage to
inspire the piece. What started as a light conversation
between the two led to a real penguin field trip, assisted
by the zoo’s professional animal handlers every
waddling step of the way. The penguins were coaxed
through Kirkwood Hall, the Impressionist and Baroque
galleries, past Monet’s Water Lilies, Caravaggio’s Saint
John the Baptist in the Wilderness and more - all while
a film crew captured each moment.
