PERRYVILLE, Mo. (Nov. 9, 2026) – Mercy Health Foundation Perry is bringing the best of both Festival of Trees and Paint the Town Red into one night this winter to ensure high quality, compassionate care remains within reach for area patients.
Guests and sponsors will experience an evening celebrating the strength of community and the power of giving on Friday, Dec. 4, beginning at 5 p.m. at the Knights of Columbus Hall, 31 Church St., Perryville. The third annual benefit will include a full course dinner, silent auction packages, raffle items and entertainment from Well Hungarians. Guests will also enjoy beautifully decorated Christmas trees available during the silent auction at this semi-formal event.
This year’s event benefits the Mercy Health Foundation Perry’s Area of Greatest Need Fund, with plans to purchase a new courtesy vehicle to help ensure area patients have reliable transportation to and from medical appointments. For many, transportation can be a significant barrier to receiving care; and a courtesy vehicle helps connect patients to essential medical services, treatment and follow-up visits, improving health outcomes and reducing missed appointments.
“We’re excited to kick off the season of giving in Perryville with a new format for Paint the Town Red,” said Glenda Gremaud, outreach relations manager at Mercy Perry. “Proceeds from this event directly support patients, helping remove barriers to care and providing assistance that allows them to receive the medical services and support they need to heal and thrive.”
Event tickets are available for purchase at $100 each. Corporate sponsorships are also available. Learn more about sponsorships or purchase tickets online at mercyhealthfoundation.net/paintthetownred or by calling Mercy Health Foundation Perry at 573-902-2753
