• CONCERN to Host Comedy Show Fundraiser

  Date: 2012.03.15 | Category: Charity, Dining, Entertainment, Everywhere else | Response: 0

  On Friday, May 18^th CONCERN’s Southeast Regional Office will be holding their 2nd Comedy Show Fundraiser at Chuckles Comedy at the Valley Forge Beef and Ale.  Their first show, held in November, was a sold out event and this one promises to be even bigger and better than before!

  I was fortunate to have attended their show in November and it was an absolute blast.  I’ve been to those swanky overpriced comedy clubs that shuffle you around like cattle, and this is an excellent change of pace.  The tickets are only $20 and all money raised goes to the direct benefit of foster children throughout Southeastern PA.

  When we attended in November, we arrived about a half hour early and mingled with some of the comics and other patrons.  The atmosphere was really laid back and everyone was so friendly.  But that’s the kind of crowd one would expect from good people who go out to support a great cause on a Friday night.

  Each comic presented their own unique style of comedy which kept the show flowing and the audience laughing.  Before we knew it the show was over and then they started raffling off all kinds of great prizes.  Overall it was a great experience and I highly recommend taking advantage of this local entertainment venue!

• IHOP National Pancake Day!

  Date: 2011.03.01 | Category: Charity, Dining, Everywhere else, Internet | Response: 2

  Today is National Pancake Day!  There is still time to visit IHOP for your free short stack up until 10PM tonite.  Fortunately there is an IHOP down the street from East Norriton in Blue Bell.  All they ask is that you consider making a small donation to Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals and/or other local charities.  This is great opportunity to grab a bite to eat for FREE and help out some really important causes.  Head to IHOP tonite!  If it’s too crowded to get in, and you don’t feel like waiting, be a sport and make a small donation anyways!  After all that’s what it’s all about!  Don’t forget to layer on some delicious syrup before you dig in!  Last year IHOP raised over $2 million.  Help them crush this years goal!
