Florida with their benefit performance for Gilda's Club South

Florida.
The show will feature THEY improv with Majic 102.7 FM's Joe Johnson

"To me Gilda's Club is all about celebrating how she lived,"
said THEY improv Director Todd Rice. "We use comedy in remembering
the anniversary of her birth. I can hardly think of anything more
fitting."
Gilda's
Club's 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.

taught an improv class there and we regularly donate tickets for
them to raise additional funds. They do amazing work right here
in our community and we're happy to do whatever we can to help."
