WHILE SUPPORTING A WONDERFUL CAUSE AT HOSPICE OF THE VALLEY’S SIGNATURE FUNDRAISER: AAHA! ART. FOOD. WINE. In 45 years, no one in need of care has been turned away by the not-for-profit agency, and that is largely due to community generosity.

“We are grateful to local businesses and individuals whose donations make this event so unique and special,” says Debbie Shumway, executive director of Hospice of the Valley. “This year, we are focusing on families who are caring for a loved one with dementia, raising funds for programs that we provide at no charge in the community, and at our new Dementia Care and Education Campus.”

You can still get tickets for the March 11 gala at the JW Marriott Scottsdale Camelback Inn and bid on fine art, unique wines, dining experiences, dreamy getaways, and exciting trips, including a luxury excursion to Spain. The benefit event is from 6 p.m. to 10 p.m. and features spectacular silent and live auctions, raffle prizes (including diamond earrings and a Ralph Lauren suede crossbody bag), an elegant dinner, and lively dancing to The Hamptons.
