The American Cancer Society’s 31st annual Hope Gala will be Aug. 20 at Vestavia Country Club. This year’s event, themed “Circo Della Speranza” (Circus of Hope), honors Stanley R. Virciglio.
Virciglio is a third-generation grocer and owner of the Piggly Wiggly stores in Crestline, Liberty Park and Homewood. A cancer survivor, he is known for his generosity to local non-profits and his support of education in Birmingham.
The Hope Gala will begin at 6 p.m. with cocktails and a silent auction followed by dinner and a live auction. Live music will be provided after dinner by Livewire.
Tickets are $250 per person. Funds raised will support the American Cancer Society.
