Multi-platinum recording artist, author and actress Naomi Judd will host a fundraising event for Redmond-based Hopelink and the Potato Soup Foundation from 5-7 p.m. Friday, Feb. 12 at the new Aegis of Bellevue location, 148 102nd Ave. SE in Bellevue. Tickets must be purchased in advance and no one will be admitted to the event without a ticket.

Just 100 tickets are available at $150 per person. Ticket price includes entertainment, cocktails, hors d’oeuvres and a silent auction. Thirty tickets for a private dinner with Naomi Judd, following the cocktail event, are also available for $500 each. All proceeds will go toward Hopelink and the Potato Soup Foundation.

Since 1971, Hopelink has helped homeless and low-income families, children, seniors and people with disabilities make lasting changes in their lives. Hopelink promotes self-sufficiency by helping people meet their needs for food, shelter, homelessness prevention, family development, transportation and adult literacy.

The Potato Soup Foundation was established by Redmond-based Aegis Living founder and CEO Dwayne Clark to help Aegis employees and their families in extreme times of need. The name of the foundation commemorates a time when, as a child, Clark and his mother had no money or food and lived on potato soup for a week.
