Cancer Awareness Club – For 2 years consecutively, we helped raiser over $10,000 supporting families in need of medical attention for patients with cancer. This incredible event was held out of the Improv in Hollywood in “Laughter is the Best Medicine”.Cancer Awareness Club a non-profit organization was started, as a club at the Buckley School by a former student of Comedy Playground , Matthew Benzimra to increase awareness and provide financial support for families with children affected by cancer whose insurance would not cover certain treatments. Their mission was to specifically provide financial assistance to cover medical expenses that insurance either does not cover or only partially covers.Unlike other fundraisers, this event’s audience included children who are affected by cancer and their families. We were honored to help bring a smile on their faces; and laughter in their hearts; the best medicine of all and making a difference.
