"Events like Helping With Humor allow us to continue assisting those most vulnerable in our community through the services at Humility of Mary Shelter, Inc." said Cindi Gramenz, Program Director of the shelter. "We value each community member that chooses to support us, and a great way to do that is a fun afternoon with our team, David Casas, and ComedySportz!"
Helping With Humor will feature an art exhibit from Humility of Mary Shelter participants. At 6pm award-winning magician David Casas will perform followed by a fast paced ComedySportz match. One hundred percent of the ticket proceeds will be going to the Humility of Mary Shelter to support their ongoing programs. There will be food and drinks available throughout the evening.
Humility of Mary Shelter provides temporary and permanent housing and services. They offer the opportunity to men and women experiencing homelessness to become more stable emotionally, mentally, and physically. In the last year they provided 24,500 nights of shelter to 698 individuals, fifty percent of which had never been homeless before. "Our goal is to raise enough money to fund the shelter for several nights, we want to raise our community up; bring them together for a good cause and a laugh," said Patrick Adamson, CSzQC owner and comedian.
The Establishment is a comedy venue located at 220 19th street Rock Island, IL. The Establishment is the home of CSz Quad Cities and produces ComedySportz, the longest running show in the QC.
