The show will feature many performers from the staff at Mayo Regional Hospital, and from the community at large. All proceeds go to Pine Tree Hospice, a local, volunteer-based, non-profit organization that helps people dealing with terminal illness or grieving the loss of a loved one. Pine Tree Hospice serves individuals and families throughout the Penquis region.

Tickets are $6 and are on sale in advance at Mr. Paperback in Dover-Foxcroft and Hudson Avenue Florists in Guilford. Refreshments will be on sale at the show.

The drawing will be held on the night of the variety show.
