THEY
improv at the Improv performed to Benefit The Reach for the Stars
Foundation on August 22nd.
Hollywood,
FL: THEY improv, Broward County's improv troupe,
continued their effort at changing the face of comedy in South
Florida with their benefit performance for The Reach for the Stars
Foundation on Wednesday August 22nd at the Seminole Paradise Improv
in Hollywood, Florida.
In an evening full of top-notch comedy, the show raised funds
and awareness for The Reach for the Stars Foundation. The Reach
for the Stars Foundation is dedicated to providing individuals
afflicted with Cystic Fibrosis and their families with the resources,
knowledge and support necessary to manage their unrelenting battle
with this insidious disease. Cystic Fibrosis is not only physically
debilitating, but carries a heavy financial and psychological
burden for families.
"The
symbolism of reaching for the stars is not lost on us," said
THEY improv Director Todd Rice. "It's about hope. Hope for
a cure, hope for a brighter future, a hope for a tomorrow. The
Reach for the Stars Foundation brings hope to so many. Helping
them to help others is the least we can do."
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.
The
Reach for the Stars Foundation is devoted to improving the quality
of life for these afflicted individuals as they await the cure,
and to help ease the burden of the families as they engage in
their battle with CF: a battle that never ends.
"The Reach for the Stars Foundation does some great work,"
said THEY Director Todd Rice. "They improv the lives of many
people. Helping people out while enjoying a great night of comedy
at the same time is an offer people can't refuse. That's what
our Comedy With A Cause is all about."
"We are excited about having a great night of comedy to benefit
the foundation," said The Reach for The Stars Foundation
Director Solange Beaumard. "When people give to us, it's
nice for them to receive something in return. Laughter is a great
gift."
