Rady Auxiliary presents ‘mad’ ‘60s fundraiser

CARMEL VALLEY — The Carmel Valley Unit of the Rady Children’s Hospital Auxiliary has been hard at work, preparing for the sixth annual Sounds of Hope for Children.
Tickets are now on sale for the March 25 event, to be held at the Prado in Balboa Park. Featuring the Dean-O-holics, the theme for the sixth annual Sounds of Hope for Children event was inspired by the popular AMC program “Mad Men” and the music of that era. The 2011 Sounds of Hope event will benefit the Hospital’s Autism Discovery Institute.
Get ready to swing and sing to the sounds of the ’60s with Dean, Frank and Sammy in a Vegas-style tribute to the “Rat Pack.” The ballroom at The Prado in Balboa Park will be transformed into a nightclub scene.
According to event co-chairs Marilyn Nolen and Romie Martin, the group’s goal is to ensure a memorable experience that combines philanthropy and fun. Tickets, available by invitation only, are $175 per guest. Tables of 10 with reserved seating are $2,500. For an invitation, visit www.chacv.org or call (858) 461-0104.
Guests are encouraged to dress in early ’60s cocktail attire.
