PNC will present a benefit for Hospice of the Valley as Hospice hosts its 11th annual Mardi Gras Party on Saturday at Mr. Anthony’s, 7440 South Ave.

Champagne and hors d’oeuvres will be served when the doors open at 6:30 p.m.

The event will feature a silent auction of vacation packages, unique gift items, game tickets and autographed memorabilia, as well as gifts donated by local merchants and a bag auction.

Guys Without Ties will celebrate their 20th anniversary at the event, which also will feature DJ Bryan Ladd, a 50-50 raffle, psychic readings, a Mardi Gras store and food.

Honorary chairs for the event are John and Denise York of the DeBartolo Corp. and Sam and Caryn Covelli of Covelli Enterprises.

The donation for the festivities is $65 per person. All proceeds benefit Hospice of the Valley and its mission to provide comfort and compassionate care to those at the end of life and support for their families.

It’s not too late for businesses to be showcased by donating a gift or service to the auction.
