The Bend Surgery Center Foundation was organized, at least in part, “to assist Central Oregon students who have demonstrated a commitment and desire to pursue further education within the Healthcare industry,” according to the group’s website.

To support that goal, the foundation holds an annual fundraiser at the Tower Theatre, with a concert, and they’ve gotten some pretty good-sized names: High Street, Jackie Greene, Shawn Mullins.

This year, the headliner is Cherry Poppin’ Daddies, the Eugene-based swing, ska, jazz and rock band that scored a hit in the mid-1990s with its song (and album) “Zoot Suit Riot.” The Daddies are still at it; they released a new album called “Please Return the Evening” last year. It’s a tribute to the music of Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin and Sammy Davis Jr.

In addition to the music, the event will include appetizers and dessert, dancing and both silent and live auctions. Visit www.bendsurgerycenterfoundation.org or the Tower’s website (below) for more info.

Band Together for Scholarships with Cherry Poppin’ Daddies; 6:30 p.m. Saturday; $39 or $49, available through the venue; Tower Theatre, 835 NW Wall St., Bend; www.towertheatre.org or 541-317-0700.
