This year marks the 10th anniversary of the Paulie Palooza music festival, which has raised more than $61,000 for Gulfside Hospice. In celebration of this milestone, and in effort to protect the health of those involved, this year’s fundraiser will be split into two parts: Paulie Palooza’s Virtual Opening Act on Saturday, March 13 and Paulie Palooza’s Live Headliner Event on Saturday October 16.
The Virtual Opening Act in March will stream on Gulfside’s Facebook page and feature local musicians and entertainment, plus an online auction. Later in the year, the Live Headliner Event will take place on Main Street Zephyrhills with live music, vendors, food trucks and more.
“This year’s Virtual Opening Act will bring amazing entertainment from Paulie Palooza to fans both near and far as we all continue to stay safe,” said Carla Armstrong, Director of Philanthropy. “Plus, the good works by Paulie Palooza to help hospice patients for the past 10 years is worth celebrating not once but twice with the traditional Live Headliner Event in the fall.”
Proceeds from both events benefit Gulfside Hospice to help provide patient care and bereavement services to more than 650 patients and families every day.
