The 27th Annual Mayors’ Beans & Cornbread Luncheon, the largest fundraiser of the year for Hospice of Lubbock, will take place from 11 a.m. – 1:30 p.m. March 4 at the Lubbock Memorial Civic Center Banquet Hall. The luncheon is hosted by mayors from all over the region.
Beans, cornbread, dessert and drinks, catered by River Smith’s, will be served at the luncheon. Patrons may add a Klemke’s Raider Alley Sausage link for $2. Live music will be provided by the Lubbock Texas Rhythm Machine and the Stars of the Cactus Theater.
A “Tip Your Waiter Contest” will also take place during the luncheon, with proceeds also going to Hospice of Lubbock. Local celebrities and community leaders comprise the wait staff. The waiter with the most tips wins a traveling “Golden Apron” trophy at a special presentation after the luncheon.
Luncheon tickets are $10 each and can be purchased at the door or by calling either Hospice of Lubbock, (806) 795-2751 or the Covenant Foundation at (806) 725-6020. Sponsorships of the event are still available as well, by contacting the foundation.
This fundraising event raises money for Hospice of Lubbock’s non-funded and under-funded hospice patients and families, Grief Recovery Center and Children’s Grief Camp each summer. Hospice of Lubbock is the region’s only nonprofit adult and pediatric hospice since 1987.
