AAHA! An Auction of Heirlooms and Art

Hospice of the Valley

Martini, anyone? Guests celebrated the 1960’s style at AAHA! An Auction of Herlooms and Art given by Hospice of the Valley. The Mad Men-themed event was held at Arizona Biltmore Resort. The art gallery setting was perfect for cocktails and hors d’oeuvres, created for the outstanding silent auction. Dinner was elegant as was auctioneer Letitia Frye. Painter and performance artist Randall Hedden created three paintings, live on stage, of classic Rat Pack legends Dean, Frank and Sammy, for the live auction. Of particular interest was the Ed Mell painting Golden Cast 1. Susan Levine, executive director of Hospice of the Valley since 1994, thanked guests for contributing to end-of-life care at HOV, providing comfort and dignity to patients and their families. Levine is among the selected honorees for the Arizona Centennial Legacy Project: Arizona’s 48 Most Intriguing Women. Sister Adele O’Sullivan, a physician and founder of Circle the City, was thrilled with the “Fund A Need” donations supporting a partnership to provide a safe haven for the homeless who are sick. Sponsors for the event included OnePoint Patient Care, Blue Cross Blue Shield of Arizona, Wells Fargo, Ricki Dee and John Jennings, Michele and Rick Hamada. The evening had a wonderful energy, beautifully attired ladies and gentlemen, and live auction Lot 11 – A Mad Men VIP set tour for two during season six, complete with accommodations at Chateau Marmont in Hollywood, priceless!
