THEY
improv continues their support for Gilda's Club®
South Florida through their Comedy With A Cause program by using
multiple events to raise money for the organization. Not only dedicating
time and effort, but tickets to other shows for use by the charity
to raise money.
THEY improv performs often producing shows at the
Seminole Paradise Improv in honor of Gilda Radner and raising money
and awareness for Gilda's Club. Don't miss these shows!
THEY improv most recently provided a
performance at Gilda's Club® South Florida at a pot luck dinner.
Members of Gilda's were treated to a comedic performance while enjoying
the friendship that Gilda's is famous for.
On July 19th, 2006 at the Seminole Paradise Improv, THEY improv,
Laughing Gas, and Majic 102.7 FM's Joe Johnson cam together and
raised over $2,500 for the organization. The event also included
a raffle for tickets to the Colbert Report and Emeril Live! The
show was featured on Majic 102.7 FM, in the Miami
Herald, the Sun Sentinel and Weston
Lifestyle Magazine.
In addition to benefit performances, THEY improv's Director, Todd
Rice, has taught an improv class at Gilda's Club in Fort Lauderdale.
The classes bring people together and teach techniques for support.
Plus the classes make people laugh. There can never be enough laughter
at Gilda's Club.
THEY improv often donates tickets to other shows to
allow Gilda's to raise additional money.
The improv community in South Florida at large also supports Gilda's
Club. THEY improv participated in the 4th Annual South
Florida Improv Jam to benefit Gilda's Club® South Florida at the
Kravis Center for the Performing Arts.
Pictured above are THEY who
performed at the benefit at the Kravis Center. Pictured are (clockwise
from top left) Jim Rose, Todd Rice, Valerie Zach, James Carrey (who
did not perform, but everyone couldn't help but to hear his distinct
laugh), Ed Zeltner, Dustin Sharpe, Sam DeLima, and Andy Sottilare.
 The
beneficiary of these events is Gilda's Club® South Florida. Their
mission is to provide a place where men, women and children living
with cancer and their families and friends join with others to build
social and emotional support as a supplement to medical care. Activities
and events are free to members and are offered in a non-residential
home-like setting. Gilda's Club is a free social and emotional support
community named for Gilda Radner.
