Lucas Hunt

My name is Lucas Hunt, and I love helping nonprofit organizations raise as much money as possible at their events. Mission-based, community centric, value-driven fundraising principles inspire my work. Learning about a cause, asking people to give, and getting donors to act—it’s truly a gift.

As the president of HUNT Auctioneers and a celebrated American poet, I’ve had the honor of helping raise hundreds of millions of dollars over the past 14 years for organizations like St. Jude, Make-A-Wish, American Cancer Society, and The Museum of African American History. I bring energy, heart, and strategy to every stage and partner closely with teams to ensure their events are unforgettable and impactful.
