You can add iconic British popsmith Elvis Costello to the list of big names that the Owen Hart Foundation has tapped for its fundraising efforts.
The organization has just announced it will present An Evening with Elvis Costello, Dec. 10 at the Jubilee Auditorium.
Tickets range from $70 to $150 and go on sale from Ticketmaster at 10 am. on Sept 16.
The concert will be the 17th annual event that the foundation has held in the city to raise funds for "education, affordable housing, and foreign aid to vulnerable individuals."
"The Owen Hart Foundation prides itself on hosting incredibly exclusive entertainment for our annual event, and this year we have proudly upheld this unique tradition by bringing Elvis Costello to the stage at the Jubilee," foundation founder-director Dr. Martha Hart said in a statement.
Other stars the foundation has hosted over the years for concerts or special events include Seth Meyers, Dane Cook, Steve Martin and Martin Short, Robin Williams with David Steinberg, Russell Brand, Jerry Seinfeld and Ringo Starr & His All Starr Band.
The organization has also added an online auction to its fundraising efforts this year. There are five special packages that people can bid on as well as other items such as "a trip anywhere WestJet travels, Denver Broncos football tickets, VIP tickets and meet and greet opportunity for the Elvis Costello show, exclusive art and memorabilia, and much more."
"Our goal is to be able to raise an additional $30,000 through this charity auction and I encourage all Calgarians to get bidding," Martha Hart said in the statement.
Items and packages can be bid on at hartauction.com, with the closing date of Dec. 1.
