My Friend’s House, a 501 (c)(3) non-profit human service organization, that provides life-sustaining staples and spiritual motivation to Los Angeles’ economically disadvantaged, (now going into their fourth year) announced today that they will be hosting “Comedy for a Cause”. This 1st Annual fundraiser, which benefits My Friend’s House Foundation’s mission to continue to provide life staples to LA’s homeless, is well on its way to becoming an epic event for an epic cause.
“Comedy for a Cause” will be held Monday, August 13, 2012 at 7:30pm at Hollywood’s legendary Laugh Factory located on the historical Sunset Strip, 8001 W. Sunset Blvd., Los Angeles, CA 90046. A-list comedians like Earthquake and Guy Torry (who both are avid supporters of My Friend’s House) will headline the event and Dominican Hip Hop Supermodel Rosa Acosta alongside the lovely and talented actress Angell Conwell are set to host. Acosta is also an advocate of My Friend’s House. “Giving back is not an option” says Acosta, “it’s really what we as human beings are supposed to do.” NBA veteran Cedric Ceballos, (formerly of the Los Angeles Lakers) will be showing his support by djing the evening’s sounds.
My Friend’s House serves approximately 200 homeless and needy adults, children, and seniors living in the Skid Row section of downtown Los Angeles and its surrounding areas, providing them with food, clothing, shoes, toiletries, encouraging literature, and other necessities, on a weekly basis. “We are proud to say that we have survived on private donations for quite some time”, says Tiffany A. Rose, My Friend’s House founder, “but now
we have reached a point in our operations where our funds are exhausted and we must call upon other industries and individuals to support our endeavors, and I think “Comedy for a Cause” will ignite pivotal support.”
Tickets for “Comedy for a Cause” are $25 general admission, $45 VIP which includes, premiere seating, complimentary small bites & dessert bar. For more information on “Comedy for a Cause”, email info@myfriendshouseLA.org or call (323) 273- 7778.
