MEDINA – Hospice of Orleans is looking to top the $8,000 raised from last year’s Toast to Hospice.

The event is set for a 6 p.m. start on Aug. 19 at Leonard Oakes Estate Winery. The tickets are $50 and include dinner catered by Zambistro, live entertainment by Shane Gambrill, a Toast to Hospice wine glass and a glass of wine.

Proceeds from the event go directly to patient care at Hospice, said Julia Alt, development director at Hospice.

“Toast to Hospice has been a summer tradition at Hospice and we are so excited to celebrate with everyone,” Alt said. “We are extremely thankful for the many local businesses who are donating gift baskets and gift certificates for our raffle and silent auction.”

Tickets can be purchased in the Admin Building at Hospice of Orleans in Albion as well as the Tasting Room at Leonard Oakes Estate Winery on Ridge Road in Medina. Or they can be purchased by calling Hospice at (585) 589-0809 or by online (click here).
