Two black-tie optional fundraisers in Ybor City this Saturday night feature Ol' Blue Eyes impersonators. Frankly Sinatra at the Cuban Club stars Don Juceam as The Voice with a 22-piece orchestra; proceeds benefit Moffitt Cancer Center, All Children's Hospital and Veterans with Disabilities. The 10th Annual Celebrate Sinatra event occurs down the street at Centro Asturiano and kicks off in the second floor theatre with "Sinatra, Paul's Way," a performance by Paul Wilborn and his Blue Roses trio. The main event with Sinatra tribute artist Tom Tiratto and the Joe Stagi Orchestra starts at 9 p.m. in third-floor ballroom. This event supports Mayor Pam Iorio's Beautification Program. We can't recommend one over the other, but if you're charitable and a fan of Sinatra, either one will do. Sat., July 28: Frankly Sinatra, 8 p.m.-2 a.m., 2010 Avenida Republica de Cuba, Ybor City, $70 (includes hors d'oeuvres and an open bar), cubanclub.org; and Celebrate Sinatra, 9 p.m.-1 a.m., 909 E. Palm Ave., Ybor City, $20 per person for Wilborn's pre-show (8-8:45 p.m.)/$45 per person for the party/$55 for both, celebratesinatra.com.
