Pat Langham, headmistress at Wakefield Girls' High School, will be hosting the event and all proceeds will go towards the hospice's annual running costs.
Wakefield-born Jane McDonald said: "It was an honour to be asked to speak at this event. The hospice provides a truly invaluable service to our local community, not only for the patients but also for their friends and families.
"To be able to support such a cause, that is very close to my heart, is a real honour. I hope this event will go some way to helping raise much needed funding for the Hospice. The hospice is somewhere you don’t think about until you need them, then they are invaluable.
"The staff are simply angels and so many of us are immensely grateful to each and everyone of them. I sincerely hope we can have a great lunch together to help such a wonderful place."
Helen Knowles, director of income generation at Wakefield Hospice, said: "The pandemic has hugely impacted the hospice, both financially and operationally. We are committed to fight back this year and generate more income than ever to ensure we continue to provide specialist care for our patients and their families.
"We cannot thank Jane enough for agreeing to join us at this event. We would also like to say a huge thanks to our host Pat Langham, who alongside Jane has given her time free of charge, and to our event sponsors Chadwick Lawrence Solicitors."
