AIGA JWU NEWS & UPDATES

Last year, we held a fundraiser called Comedy For A Cure during which we raised over $300 for our Relay For Life team. It was a great time, and everyone is asking about it again this year. So it is back by popular demand.

Tickets are just $5!
Xavier Auditorium on Pine Street.
Donations will be accepted at the door.
Raffle prizes will be given away as well!

We can fit 500 people! Let’s fill this place up and raise money for a great cause! This year’s event will be a little different though. It will be composed of 2 parts:

Student Gallery

The first part of the event will give students an opportunity to display their work. Outside of the auditorium where the stand up event will take place, there will be a gallery full of member and non member work. We hope to attract many members of the design community to the event to view our hard work.

Comedy Event

This is the main event. It will be hosted by myself, and 4 local comedians will be donating their time to perform stand up!

Derek Furtado, Kelly Morse, Mike Murray and John Porch

In the weeks leading up to the event we will post bios on each comic to get you pumped up!

Relay For Life of Johnson & Wales University is March 26th & 27th in the Harborside Gym.

If you are going to be on our team, we need you to register on the JWU event page. When joining

Not a member of the group? You don’t have to be on our team! Anyone and everyone is welcome! Let’s raise some money for this great cause.

Stay tuned for information on our 2nd annual Comedy For A Cure event coming up on March 18th!

The location of AIGA JWU’s 2nd Annual Comedy For A Cure has been moved.

The event will now be taking place at PEPSI FORUM. NOT Xavier Auditorium like previously announced. There are technical issues in Xavier that will not be fixed before the performance.

The time of the event has NOT changed.

So with the event a little over a week away, it’s time to really start pushing the event. Attached to this post are 2 PDFs you can print out and hand out to friends, put in local establishments, or put up in your dorm or apartment! We want to thank Kyla Covert for spending the time designing the posters.
