Mayors Beans & Cornbread Luncheon: March 6 When the mayors arrive on March 6 to serve beans and cornbread, a community comes together like a big family reunion. And no black ties are needed. Tickets to the 31st annual Mayors Beans & Cornbread Luncheon are $10 and can be purchased online, at the 3702 21st St. office, or by calling Hospice of Lubbock at 806795-2751 or the Covenant Foundation at 806-725-6020, or at the door on March 6. Doors to the Lubbock Memorial Civic Center, 1501 Mac Davis Lane, will open at 11 a.m. March 6, and beans and cornbread will be served until 1:30 p.m. Four local celebrities have agreed to participate in a little friendly competition to help raise funds for Hospice of Lubbock - Rache Ahdey from KLBK, Kelsee Pitman from KAMC, Rachael Reagan from Fox 34, and Kase Wilbanks from KCBD. When purchasing tickets online, select one of the celebrity fundraisers to support.
Beans, cornbread, dessert, and drinks will be served. A sausage link can be added to the meal for an additional $2. Live music and entertainment will be provided by Caldwell Entertainment. The tradition was established, and now 31 years later, the event continues to help fund those who need the support of hospice. It’s

Hospice of Lubbock serves 19 counties, including Parmer, Bailey, Lamb, Hale, Floyd, Motley, Cochran, Hockley, Lubbock, Crosby, Dickens, Yoakum, Terry, Lynn, Garza, Kent, Gaines, Dawson and Borden.
