Catholic Charities’ Mardi Gras Continues To Be Popular Fundraiser [AUDIO]

ST. CLOUD -- Catholic Charities in St. Cloud will host its annual Mardi Gras fundraiser tomorrow - an event which has been held annually for over 30 years.

The evening will feature a silent auction, music by Andrew Walesch and the Fabulous Armadillos, a gourmet dinner, and dancing.

Communications Coordinator Trina Dietz says the event has sold out and over 750 people from around the area are expected to come out.

Proceeds will go towards programs like their food shelf and Domus transitional housing for homeless mothers and their children.  Dietz says every donation, no matter how much, is appreciated.

Even a small donation of $10 will help, as Dietz says it equals $40 in the grocery store for the food shelf.

The Catholic Charities Mardi Gras gala starts at 5:30 p.m. tomorrow (Saturday) at the River's Edge Convention Center.
