MEET THE AUCTION CHAIRS
CHELSEY & RYAN LEE
We’re thrilled to partner with O'Hara parents Ryan & Chelsey Lee to present the 2026 O’Hara Auction: Paddles Up! Chelsey and Ryan have two daughters currently attending O'Hara: Addy in 6th grade and Emmy in 4th grade. Their family has been a very involved part of our community for many years and we were honored when they agreed to chair this year's pickleball-themed auction. Having them on board is sure to make the evening a smash hit you won’t want to miss!
