Dan Aykroyd is teaming up with Emmy-nominated actress Cheryl Hines to host a special charity event in Florida next weekend.

An Evening at the Palace is one of UCP of Central Florida's largest annual fundraisers. Held at the Buena Vista Palace Hotel & Spa, on Saturday, March 10, 2012, many of Central Florida’s top community and business leaders come together to help raise awareness and funds for support, education and therapy programs that help children with and without special needs reach their full potential.

Much of the event’s production costs and auction items are donated, so most of the funds raised go directly toward programs and services. It’s through this event that the charity is able to provide their music therapy program, a second teacher assistant in each classroom and therapy sessions for children from financially challenged families. Funds also help purchase supplies and equipment for their classrooms and therapy gyms.

Preceding the gala, on Friday March 9, Cheryl Hines will host a special charity poker tournament for the UCP of Central Florida at the Buena Vista Palace Hotel & Spa.
