Laughing Gas Helps Support the Leukemia
and Lymphoma Society "Team in Training" on May 19th
The Laughing
Gas Comedy Improv Theatre Company, South Florida's
longest-running improv troupe, will perform to benefit the Leukemia
and Lymphoma Society "Team in Training" program
in conjunction with the Main Street Playhouse in Miami Lakes at
8pm on Thursday night, May 19th.
The
show will consist of 90 minutes of improvised comedy as a way
of saying thanks to the audience for their donations to this worthy
cause. There is a $10 minimum donation to attend the event and
proceeds will go directly to the "Team in Training"
program of the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society, with the money
being used to fight blood cancers. Additional donations are certainly
encouraged and may be given through the local organizers website
at www.active.com/donate/fundraise/NatGarcia.
"We're proud to be doing what we can to help this worthy
cause," said Laughing Gas Director Gerald Owens. "It's
nice when we can help while also making people laugh."
"In only the U.S., nearly 300 people a day learn they have
Leukemia, Lymphoma or Myeloma," said TEAM member Natacha
Garcia. "Not to mention that Leukemia research is considered
the 'window' to treatment and cure for all cancers. This is an
organization that can really make a difference."
"Leukemia is the number one leading cause of death in children
between the ages of 1 and 5," said TEAM member Lisette
Gutierrez. "I am proud to be fundraising to find a cure
so that parents of children with Leukemia will be able to help
their kids live a normal and long life."
This
show is part of Laughing Gas' "Improv-ing The Community"
effort to improve the community as a whole through their performances
and good works. Over the past several months, Laughing Gas has
performed shows to "Improv The Vote", Em-ceed
a Tsunami benefit, and helped raise money for charities with their
"Improv-ing The Community" campaign. Laughing
Gas has been picked as a Social
Miami "Pick of the Week" several times for
their themed shows and is regularly recognized for its socially
relevant material.
