Matt Paxton to headline Litchfield Park fundraiser

Downsizing expert and television personality Matt Paxton will discuss preserving family memories during a Sun Health Foundation fundraiser Oct. 21 in Litchfield Park.

“Treasures & Tales: An Evening of Stories, Laughter and Legacy” begins at 6:30 p.m. at the new Hilltop Theatre and Concert Hall, 5356 N. Litchfield Road. Doors open at 5:30 p.m.

Paxton, known for appearances on A&E’s “Hoarders” and Discovery Channel’s “Filthy Fortunes,” will share stories from his career and discuss downsizing, preserving family history and the memories attached to possessions. He is the author of “Keep the Memories, Lose the Stuff.”

“We’re going to help everyone who attends learn how to build a Legacy List, where every keepsake has a story to tell,” Paxton stated.

Ticket proceeds will benefit Sun Health Foundation programs providing free or low-cost health care and wellness resources, including Memory Care Navigator and fitness and nutrition classes, according to organizers.

General admission costs $25, or $50 with an autographed book. A $75 VIP ticket includes preferred seating, an autographed book and a meet-and-greet reception with Paxton from 8-9 p.m.

The event is open to the public. Tickets are available at sunhealthfoundation.org/matt-paxton.
