November is National Hospice and Palliative Care Month and a time to raise awareness about the specialized, expert care Niagara Hospice provides in Niagara County. The nonprofit organization has provided hospice care to over 30,000 individuals and their families since 1988. In recognizing the month, the nonprofit organization is happy to announce plans for its longest-running fundraiser, Cocktails & Cash.
Sponsored by the Niagara Hospice Board of Directors, the 30th anniversary of the event will take place at 7 p.m. on Friday at Shawnee Volunteer Fire Hall, located at 3747 Lockport Road in Sanborn.
“The beauty of Cocktails & Cash has always been the people of our community coming together and giving generously to support the compassionate care and mission of Niagara Hospice,” said Allison Bolt, Special Events Coordinator. “This event provides an opportunity for exactly that in a casual, fun atmosphere.”
For some added fun, attendees are encouraged to dress for the this year’s event theme, tropical paradise. The evening also includes a silent auction, unique raffles, 50/50 split, wine pull, and music by Miles Patterson.
Tickets are $75 and include open bar, dinner by Melloni’s Meats and Catering and a chance to win the grand prize of $7,500 as well as other prizes. Only 450 tickets will be sold, and winners need not be present to win. Tickets can be purchased at NiagaraHospice.org/cocktailsandcash or by calling the Events Department at 716-280-0766.
The silent auction will be both virtual and in-person, giving an opportunity for those not at the event to also win some great prizes. The silent auction opens November 9 at www.32auctions.com/cocktailsandcash24
All proceeds from Cocktails & Cash benefit Niagara Hospice.
