on August 11th, 2007 at the Elk's Club
in Miami.
Miami,
FL: THEY improv, South Florida's preeminent
improv troupe, continued their effort at changing the face of
comedy in South Florida with their benefit performance for The
American Cancer Society Relay For Life on August 11th in the Crystal
Room at the Elk's Club at 10301 Sunset Drive in Miami.
The evening featured THEY improv along with some stand-up comedians
and surprises that kept the audience roaring with laughter with
all proceeds going to the American Cancer Society Relay For Life.
The evening was sponsored by team: Mission Not Impossible
of the East Kendall Relay For Life.
More
than 3.5 million people in 4,800 communities nationwide have joined
the Relay For Life effort to eliminate cancer in our lifetimes.
Teams of families, friends and coworkers join together to CELEBRATE
the lives of those who have battled cancer, REMEMBER those lost
and FIGHT BACK against a disease that takes too much from far
too many.
"When you look at a disease like cancer, it is easy to become
overwhelmed," said THEY improv Director Todd Rice. "The
Relay is all about celebrating life and coming together to provide
support and encouragement to those fighting the battle. THEY improv
is happy to be part of any team effort that looks to do this much
good. Together, the Mission is NOT Impossible."
The
THEY improv 'Comedy With a Cause'
program continues to raise money for charities while changing
the face of comedy in South Florida. The program has helped local
and national charities find funds and attention for their causes
while entertaining audiences at some of South Florida's most prestigious
venues.
"We are excited to have THEY improv help us in this effort,"
said Mission Not Impossible team member Sandy Paster. "Together
we can raise some more money and awareness for this worthwhile
cause. Come spend an evening of enjoyment and join our team in
helping make a difference."
All
proceeds from the event went to the organization with a great
deal of thanks shown for the Elks Club for providing the venue.
