With the help of some local celebrity bartenders, Hospice of Santa Barbara (HSB) will host a Halloween costume party designed to raise money for those grieving the loss of a loved one. The party takes place 5-8 p.m. Thursday, Oct. 24, at The Red Piano, 519 State St. Admission is free.

Guest bartenders in attendance include motivational speaker and trainer Jesse Brisendine; HSB supporter Graham Guess, Easy Lift CEO Ernesto Paredes, Hospice of Santa Barbara CEO David Selberg, and community outreach coordinator Jeanne West.

Community members are invited to join HSB for the night of live music and a costume contest. Every dollar tipped goes directly to Hospice of Santa Barbara. The tips will help HSB care for anyone experiencing the impact of a serious illness or grieving the death of a loved one.

Hospice of Santa Barbara provides professional counseling, support groups, and patient care services free of charge to individuals and families who are going through bereavement or experiencing the impact of a life-threatening illness.
