Going to our 2nd Annual Comedy For A Cure? RSVP to the event on Facebook!

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!
Pepsi Forum on Pine Street.
Donations will be accepted at the door.
Raffle prizes will be given away as well!

100% OF PROCEEDS ARE DONATED TO RELAY FOR LIFE

We can fit 250 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!

Sarah Dillonaire, freshman and AIGA JWU member recently received an honor that no one else has received – a scholarship in the name of John B. Rogers, Jr. John was the 2010 Johnson & Wales University School of Technology’s third Distinguished Visiting Professor during a ceremony held in February.

John “Jay” Rogers is President, CEO and Co-Founder of Local Motors, a next-generation car company that is changing the way cars are designed, built, and owned by creating a collaborative environment that helps fuel innovation. Located in Wareham, MA and expanding to Phoenix, AZ this spring, Local Motors is one of the most efficient companies in the automotive industry.

With every Distinguished Visiting Professor, a scholarship is presented to a well deserving student that demonstrates academic and extracurricular excellence. Sarah stuck out as a one of a kind candidate.

Sarah is not only a member of AIGA JWU, but also is an active participant in the Snowboard Club, Collegiate Ambassador Team, University Information Center, Relay For Life, and Residential Life groups on campus. In the Fall she will accept a position as a RA (resident advisor) at the dorm she resides in. Sarah is a very deserving individual, and the group would like to take the time to congratulate her on her scholarship.

Congratulations Sarah!
