DALLAS! It's time for Laughter League's annual FUN RAISER, an event to raise FUNds for our ongoing work in North Texas and beyond! Featuring an auction, cocktails, and performances from Laughter League clowns.

We are celebrating our tenth year of collaborating with Cook Children's Medical Center, where our clowns can be found Monday thru Friday bringing therapeutic humor to patients and families (and staff) in all units of the hospital.

Additionally, we work weekly at the Parkland Burn Unit and have been bringing comedy characters 'the bumbles' to Camp John Marc since 2010!

Every ticket to this event will bring us closer to achieving our mission of uplifting lives through humor. Together, we can create a brighter, more compassionate world for all. Thank you for supporting our mission, your support is invaluable!
