Candidates' Comedy Night 2012

Candidates' Comedy Night 2012

Come.  Laugh.  Help Children.  Thursday, August 16

Candidates’ Comedy Night 2012 will once again bring political and judicial candidates for races of local interest in the spotlight for an evening of fun and fund-raising. Most candidates will likely perform a stand-up routine. Others may sing or dance - accompanied by a musical instrument. Candidates’ Comedy Night 2011 raised more than $37,500 to support the Allegheny County Music Festival Fund (ACMFF). We are hopeful to have equal support this year from the local community to help children reach their full potential.
