The third annual “Party Palooza” is coming to the Tri-Valley in September, October and November to benefit the Sandra J. Wing Healing Therapies Foundation.

The nonprofit will have eight individual events to raise money for cancer patients.

These special events are smaller-scale social and fun events, hosted by local residents, with all proceeds going to the foundation. 

Included in this year's events are  "A Passage to India," an evening of Indian food and entertainment on Saturday, Sept. 24. 

Back by popular demand will be the third annual “Soups of the World” will take place on Saturday Oct. 22.

And "Holiday Magic with The Shapiro's," an evening of gourmet food and beverages, will be hosted by local philanthropists Bob and Joyce Shapiro on Nov. 10.

“We were so thrilled at the response for the last two years,” said founder Sandra J. Wing, a cancer survivor.

“Party Palooza and other donations helped us provide financial assistance so far to over 75 patients.”
