Local Eatery Hosting Fundraiser for Victims of Hurricane Sandy

A Rancho Mirage restaurant and sports bar will host a concert Monday to benefit victims of Hurricane Sandy.

Local bands and performers will participate in the concert at Stadium House, 69640 Highway 111, and proceeds will go to the American Red Cross for relief efforts on the East Coast, concert chairwoman Stephanie Greene said.

She said "a group of concerned valley residents" banded together over the past several days to organize the concert. Attendees will be asked to make a minimum $10 donation. A fashion show featuring local shops and models from PS Models is planned, and raffle tickets will be sold, with all proceeds going to the Red Cross.

Stadium House will also collect canned goods on Nov. 12 for FIND Food Bank, to replace supplies recently sent to the Eastern seaboard. A "Hurricane Sandy" menu will be served for lunch and dinner, with 20 percent of beverage and food charges going to the Red Cross, Greene said.

The concert will be emceed by Patti Gribow, Patrick Evans and Jim Fitz, and live entertainment will include Penny University, The Arrangements, Nicky Vallee, Shaken Not Stirred and the Two Twelve Band.

VIP tickets are also available for $100 for a private area and $50 for "premiere" concert seating. Tickets are available at www.stadium-house.com.
