Description

This event has been cancelled.

Sadly, the event did not meet the minimum attendance requirement before ComedySportz's cancellation-without-penalty deadline. Continuing forward would have meant risking losing a considerable amount of money rather than raising it.

All payments via PayPal have been refunded. All payments by check have been voided and shredded. If you have any questions, please contact the organizer.

Please considering donating directly to the Urafiki Volunteer Project.

Urafiki wetu unapendeza iga kama utaweza.
Our friendship will be beautiful if you make it so.

The Urafiki Volunteer Project, from the Swahili word for friendship, is two area homeschooled kids, Cody and Harrison, raising money for much needed supplies and well deserved toys for the children at the Living Water Children Centre.

Located in Arusha, in the northern part of Tanzania, Living Water Children Centre provides a home to over 50 orphans and children from less fortunate backgrounds. It was established in 2003 after Anza Kimaro met a 6-year-old child living on the streets. The Kimaro family renovated their home to accommodate children who urgently need a safe home. Some are children with disabilities whose families are unable to care for them, some have lost one or both parents, and some have family who are just too poor to be able to feed and clothe them.

There are over 1 million orphans in Tanzania with numbers increasing daily due to the HIV/AIDS and the Malaria pandemic. While some orphaned children can be integrated into extended families, the lack of resources and education mean that many of these children end up living on the streets fending for themselves.

This is a great opportunity to help these kids and other children that unfortunately may someday need the safety of Living Water Children Centre. The supplies and toys will will be a big help to the Kimaro family who have dedicated their lives to helping kids in need. Please help Cody and Harrison show the Kimaros just how much what they are doing matters. Be a part of turning the lives of these children into something worth smiling about.

Cody and Harrison plan to bring their donations to Living Water Children Centre themselves and work at the Centre as volunteers during the summer of 2015. (The fundraiser to cover airfare for the volunteers has been fully funded, primarily through family contributions and second-hand sales.)

Bora siku ya kuunga urafiki kuliko ile ya mlimo.
A day devoted to friendship is more precious than one given to work.

ComedySportz is improvisational comedy played as a sport! Actors compete for the biggest laughs while a referee calls the fouls and gets suggestions from you, the audience!

ComedySportz is light-hearted insanity that appeals to people from every walk of life with clean, positive entertainment that is guaranteed to please even the toughest crowd. If you have a pulse, it's highly likely that you'll laugh until it hurts. If you don't have a pulse, seek medical attention immediately.

Everything is improvised — no scripts, no pre-planned scenes. A ComedySportz match wouldn't be possible without your suggestions, and volunteers from the audience will be invited on stage to help with the show.

Regular prices for evening ComedySportz shows are $14/adult and $12/child.

Urafiki Volunteer Project

A portion of each ticket sale will go to support the Urafiki Volunteer Project with all proceeds going towards the purchase of and transportation costs for supplies and toys for the children at the Living Water Children Centre.

Nic's son, Séamus, wants to help his friends, Cody and Harrison, achieve their fundraising goals.
