NO LAUGHING MATTER – A NIGHT OF COMEDY AND ILLUSION

Dinner Chair – Tara Lipton

In 2024, our annual “No Laughing Matter” comedy night fundraiser will be adding an illusionist to wow attendees before they continue to laugh out loud with NYC’s best stand-up comedians. The event will be held on Thursday, October 10th, returning to the New York Athletic Club, 180 Central Park South.

The annual comedy night fundraiser draws 300 attendees from New York City and the surrounding areas to enjoy performances by famous comedians, including Jim Gaffigan in 2018, and other great performances, such as special Tony-Award winner, Freestyle Love Supreme in 2021, Jordan Klepper and Roy Wood Jr. from The Daily Show in 2022, Michael Kosta in 2023, and many more, while helping support critical research into pediatric brain tumors.

This unique event is essential in supporting the important research of Dr. Jeffrey Greenfield and Dr. Mark Souweidane. They co-founded the Children’s Brain Tumor Project at Weill Cornell Medicine to enable the scientific discovery of safer, more effective treatment options. This event is critical to fund this groundbreaking research that will improve outcomes for all children diagnosed with brain tumors. It is the support of generous sponsors and ticket holders who bring HOPE to these children and their families.

Tickets and sponsorship opportunities will be posted very soon. It is the support of our generous sponsors and ticket holders who bring HOPE to the children and families facing the heartbreaking diagnosis of a pediatric brain tumor.
