Raising the Roof with Laughter La Mirada Foundation Invites Community to “Party for a Purpose”

The La Mirada Community Foundation is teaming up with nationally known “Clean Comedians” and Habitat for Humanity of Greater Los Angeles, for a Gala for a Cause, on October 14^th at the La Mirada Theatre for the Performing Arts.

 Humor is often used to tear people down. But the producers of this comedy show hope to do some building up…literally.

“We are going to enjoy a fun evening of entertainment and assist some people who need home repairs," said Michael Lord, President of the La Mirada Community Foundation, who believes laughter may be the best medicine for helping local Veterans and seniors.

According to Hal Malkin, former Mayor of La Mirada, the beginning of the Foundation goes back to one generous woman. “Years ago, before her death, gifted monies from the sale of her home was initially used to help fund the Foundation. This Gala is in part possible because of her decision to pay it forward.”

Comedy & Variety with Zero Vulgarity

Adam Christing is the founder of CleanComedians.com and a long-time La Mirada resident. “Humor doesn’t have to be dirty to be funny,” says Christing, who will emcee the Gala.

The talent line includes: Carlos Oscar, a stand-up comedian who has appeared on the "Tonight Show”, the magic of Michael Grandinetti from TV’s “Masters of Illusion”, and Michael & Amy, a high-energy dueling piano duo.

Young players from Biola Youth Theatre will perform “Circle of Life” from their fall production of Lion King. Simply Irresistible will provide desserts. The Gala for a Cause will feature a silent auction and a chance for one attendee to win the opportunity to sink a putt on-stage for $10,000. Doors open at 6:30 pm for the silent auction & desserts. The live show will begin at 7 pm.
