4th Annual 'Laugh for the Cure' Stars Julie Goldman
Winnie McCroy READ TIME: 1 MIN.
On August 6, Twin Peaks presents their 4th "Laugh for the Cure" starring comedian Julie Goldman and hosted by Lady Marisa. Money raised goes to breast cancer screenings and education for the community.
"It's a comedy show fundraiser with a comedian who flies in from LA, and superstar drag queen Lady Marisa as the emcee," said organizer Betty Moore, a New Jersey-based breast cancer/wellness nurse practitioner who has worked in oncology for 32 years. "My wife and I work with the non-profit Twin Peaks and we donate our time to raise money for the community to cover the expense of breast imaging. Over the past two years, we've contributed to helping seven women find early stage breast cancer."
Doors open at 6 p.m. for the show. Events include a gift auction and a 50/50 raffle. Tickets are $20; all funds go to breast cancer screenings and community education.
"Doors open at 6 p.m., $20 at the door, awesome gift auction. Please let me know if you need anything else!"
"Come laugh 'til you pee your pants!" say organizers.
"Laugh for the Cure" will be held at 6 p.m. at Paradise, 101 Asbury Ave., Asbury Park, NJ.
