Comedy Night Fundraising Event

West Rutland, VT – The healing powers of laughter were felt in more ways than one on Saturday night, as the West Rutland American Legion played host to Laugh for the Cure, a fundraising event for Relay for Life that presented three local comedians and Lewiston, Maine-based comedian Mark Turcotte.   The three Rutland-based comedians performing on Saturday presented a range of comedic stylings, from good old-fashioned bathroom humor, to self-deprecating stories, to clever observational humor and social commentary.  www.fundraising-ideas.org

"Week in Paradise" Fundraising Event

Yuma, AZ - Amberly's Place is again selling raffle tickets for its yearly "Week in Paradise" fundraiser, offering some lucky winners a trip to locations near and far as an additional reward for helping to replenish the victim services agency's emergency fund.  The tradition began just over a decade ago and grew by leaps and bounds as its prize packages grew and popularity soared, until last year when sales fell well short of expectations until last-minute publicity and a $30,000 challenge pushed the total to $88,060, still below the $100,000 mark that had been hit the two previous years.  www.fundraising-ideas.org
