Each year, The Comedy Attic raises money for local non-profits and charities during their annual anniversary benefit show. Since 2008, the comedy club has raised more than $60,000 for different local charities, according to their website.
The non-profit organization offers free support groups to people impacted by cancer in any way. Patients, caregivers, survivors, friends and family are welcome to join Cancer Support Community’s programs. Along with the support groups, the organization provides individual counseling and music and art therapy. They also offer exercise and nutrition classes, cancer education, financial assistance and a wig boutique, according to The Comedy Attic’s website.
