Two charities close to the heart of Macclesfield Mayor Cllr Chris Wilcock will benefit from a special night in his honour.
The last few tickets are still available for a charity dinner and auction at Macclesfield Town Hall on Saturday, March 16.
A drinks reception at 7 pm is followed by a three-course meal (7.3o pm) before entertainment by live band Outer Limits.
Tickets priced £30 are available by emailing civic@macclesfield-tc.gov.uk
Proceeds will be donated to East Cheshire Hospice, where Cllr Wilcock’s late mum Lesley was an outpatient, and East Cheshire Eye Society, his other chosen charity.
The group helps people with sight loss, including Lesley who was partially sighted and died of cancer in 2015, aged 59.

Auctioneer and TV personality Adam Partridge will conduct the auction with guests promised a surprise on the night.
Cllr Wilcock said: “It should be a fantastic night of dining and entertainment for two great causes.
“I’m thoroughly enjoying my year of office. It’s everything I expected and more and it’s been wonderful to see different community groups and what they do.
“It’s given me an insight into how Macclesfield ticks basically. Wearing the chain of office and being recognised as mayor has been quite humbling.”
Cllr Wilcock joined volunteers for last month’s Hospice Christmas tree collection which raised more than £152,000.
He said: “It was an exhausting but highly rewarding day and next year we’re hoping to expand councillors’ involvement in this terrific long-standing fundraising scheme.”
