Comedians to perform for Alzheimer's Association fundraiser in Green Bay

GREEN BAY, Wis. (WFRV) – Officials with the Alzheimer's Association are inviting the public out for a night of laughter, love, and impact as local comedians take the stage for a good cause. According to a release, the Live Comedy Fundraiser is a new event that will feature local comedians taking the stage in support of the Green Bay Walk To End Alzheimer's and the over 110,000 Wisconsinites (5,400 in Brown County) who are battling this disease and their 206,000 caregivers. The event will feature two comedians who recently performed with Charlie Berens, as well as several local comedians from Green Bay and throughout the state. This is an event that is deeply personal for Dana Ehrmann and John Eagan, who each lost a close family member to early-onset Alzheimer's disease within the past two years, while another comedian, J. Tyler Menz, says his other is currently battling the disease. My family and I know firsthand how awful this disease is. At a time when research funding is being cut, it's extra important to support the vital work of the Alzheimer's Association. Each performer is said to be generously donating both their time and their talent, as 100% of ticket proceeds will go directly to the Green Bay Walk To End Alzheimer's. Officials with the Alzheimer's Association, Wisconsin Chapter, say these funds will be used to support critical research and provide essential resources to families who are facing the challenges of Alzheimer's and other forms of dementia. The Live Comedy Fundraiser will be held at Backstage at the Meyer in Green Bay on Thursday, September 17, at 7:00 p.m. Tickets are $15 per person and can be bought here.
