Tickets are on sale for a Sept. 30 fund-raiser put on by Team Carly-Q to benefit the Progeria Research Foundation.

Carly Kudzia of Whitehouse was diagnosed earlier this year with progeria, a rare genetic disorder that causes rapid aging and early death resulting from heart disease.

Carly’s Party beginning at 7 p.m. at Zeke’s Event Hall, 1950 South Eber Rd., will feature the band AlterEgo.

Tickets are $25 each and can be purchased online at teamcarlyq.com/events, at the Whitehouse Inn, or at Luce’s Chimney & Stove Shop, Swanton.
