This past weekend, we hosted our third annual FunnyRaising Comedy Show, and we’re feeling very thankful for yet another successful event!
Our partnership with FunnyRaising began in 2024 when we hosted our first comedy show and has continued to be an important part of our fundraising events each year. With each show, the funds we raise directly benefit local youth in their journey to become community leaders.
Behind the scenes, our volunteers met up at 3:00pm to load up the raffle baskets into their cars, grab any last tablecloths and supplies we needed, and then headed over to the venue to prepare for the big night! As the anticipation built, our fundraising team draped the tables, spread out the baskets, and greeted the FunnyRaising staff.
Guests began to arrive just before the doors opened at 6:15pm, and we invited them to hang out at the cash bar while the East Mountain Country Club staff finished up the dishes for the dinner buffet. At 6:15pm, music filled the hall as the doors opened, welcoming guests from around the region for a fun night out. The energy was building as friends and family reconnected — you could feel it in the air!
And at 6:30, it was time for the mouth-watering buffet. While guests enjoyed their meals, other attendees arrived and checked in. The room filled up quickly before the 8:00pm show kick-off! Featuring Jess Miller, Angel Rentas, and Stephanie Peters, the show absolutely flew by — and there were lots of laughs included! We sure hope that a laugh or two brought much needed joy into your weekend.
OUR BIGGEST THANKS:
We are very thankful for everyone who supported our comedy night this year and hope you had a good time! We raised over $2,500 that will greatly benefit our local recipients and play a critical role in the success of our 2027 all-nighter!
A special thank you to Jess Miller, Angel Rentas, Stephanie Peters, and FunnyRaising Comedy Shows for their support. We also appreciate East Mountain Country Club’s generosity and our hardworking fundraising team — Lisa Stawasz, Theresa Racine, Suzanne Harlow, Addie Hume, Marie Gilberti and Cindy Monti.
Thanks to all who joined! We hope to see you again at our Pickleball Tournament on November 8th or at Music Bingo on December 4th.
