Dear New York: We All Need A Laugh

New York has been hit hard by the COVID-19 pandemic. Industries shut down; hundreds of thousands have gotten sick; and tens of thousands have tragically passed. These challenges might cause even the toughest to crumble, but not New York.

We invite everyone who cares about New York to join us as we come together to support our most vulnerable populations. We all know stories that underscore New York’s resilience and adaptability and we all know individuals who are behind those stories. Let’s show the world what New York is all about – neighbors helping our neighbors and neighbors committing to rebuilding New York better and safer than before.

Please join the John A. Reisenbach Foundation (JAR) Trailblazers in partnership with The Triad Theater, for a virtual comedy showcase event, Dear New York: We All Need A Laugh, on Thursday, October 22, 2020, at 6:30 pm, raising awareness for JAR's work and critical funds to support our programs and nonprofit grantees. https://reisenbachfoundation.org/state-disclosures/

Headlined by comedy powerhouse Jessica Kirson, and hosted by comedian and Barbershop Books founder Alvin Irby, this 90-minute event will feature New York-based stand-up comedians, Gina Brillon,  Vladamir Camaño and The Simmer-Downs improv comedy troupe.

At JAR, each strategic grant we award benefits underserved communities, and aligns with one of four programmatic pillars: youth & education; housing and community; justice and safety; and pandemic relief.

During the event we will also highlight the work of some of our nonprofit partners, who have stepped up their efforts in numerous ways - serving on the front lines to ensure safety and quality of life for our most vulnerable populations during the COVID-19 pandemic. 

We hope you will join us in our mission to make New York City a better and safer place for all of us to live. Please donate and join us for Dear New York: We All Need A Laugh.
