Excitement is building for Evening Under the Stars to benefit VNA Care

Medfield residents are among the volunteers organizing Evening Under the Stars to support VNA Care’s home health and hospice care in the community. The benefit will be held on Thursday, Sept. 22, at 6 p.m. on the Terrace of the MIT Endicott House Estate, 80 Haven St., Dedham.

Evening Under the Stars will provide critical charitable support that allows VNA Care patients to live life to the fullest through high-level home health and hospice services that include comprehensive and compassionate medical care, counseling, and support.

VNA Care’s Needham Area Community Cabinet, volunteers dedicated to raising awareness of and support for the agency’s nonprofit mission of caring, are organizing the Sept. 22 benefit. Medfield residents Kerrie and Ellison Pattennot only serve on the cabinet, but are also giving their charitable support as Advocate Sponsors.

The festive evening includes a cocktail reception with fabulous food, silent auction, and a special guest performance by Jen Aldana from The Voice. VNA Care is grateful to Presenting Sponsors, Louise Condon Realty and Mutual of America, and Changemaker Sponsors, Dedham Savings and Fidelity Bank.

“We are so thankful for the dedicated work of all of our Community Cabinet volunteers. Their efforts are making a difference right here, close to home,” said Laura Wise, manager of fund development for VNA Care.
