On Friday, March 4, 2016, Compass Regional Hospice hosts its annual Gala at Annie’s Paramount Steak & Seafood House in Grasonville. The Compass Regional Hospice Gala is the premier fundraiser that supports hospice care and grief support available in Queen Anne’s, Kent and Caroline Counties.
This year’s honorees will be CNB and Queenstown Bank. Both banks have been supporters of hospice in Queen Anne’s County since Hospice of Queen Anne’s was founded in 1985.
The 2015 Gala begins at 6:30 pm and features cocktails and hors d’oeuvres followed by a seated dinner of lobster tail and steak. After dinner, the dance band Retrospect will entertain guests with a playlist that includes today’s hits and memorable tunes back to the Big Band era.
Gala guests will support Compass Regional Hospice by competing for silent and live auction items that will include nights out on the town, vacation packages, jewelry, art and many other treasures.
Diamonds are the centerpiece of this year’s jewelry raffle. The winner of the raffle will choose between a diamond ring or diamond earrings donated by Paula’s Fine Jewelry in Chester. Raffle tickets are $100 and only 100 tickets will be sold. The winning ticket will be drawn at the Gala and the winner need not be present.
Gala tickets are $200 per person and must be purchased in advance of the event. To purchase Gala tickets and jewelry raffle tickets and to sponsor the Gala, contact Kenda Leager, [email protected], 443-262-4106. More information is also available at compassregionalhospice/events.
