As an import from San Diego, I am happy to announce that I am continuing this amazing event I started on the West Coast here in New Hampshire. After losing a cousin to lymphoma at the age of 17, the cause closest to my heart is raising money for children’s cancer organizations and really any organization dedicated to helping children! Laughter For a Cure as a whole is not limited to benefitting a single organization but rather takes on a multitude of causes favored by its participants and organizers. Future fundraiser causes include but are not limited to Cancer, Parkinson’s, Alzheimer’s, MS and, fortunately, unfortunately, so many other causes. There is enough laughter to raise money for all!

Passing away before she truly got to experience life, Sonya Urzua is my inspiration for producing these events. Her tenacity and strong will lives on through those fighting the good fight and to those comedians who don’t give up after having a bad set.

As a Real Estate Agent, I have committed to donating 10% of my closes from leads originating from specific events to the yearly organization chosen. Receive up to 1 free raffle ticket in exchange for contact information of a friend, or family member who is thinking about buying or selling a home in the next year. That $5 raffle ticket could potentially produce $250+ being raised for Zebra Crossings! Zebra Crossings is an organization that supports children with chronic health conditions and their families in a safe and inclusive peer environment!

Historically, we have raised thousands of dollars for different organizations such as ‘Make A Wish’ & ‘Teddy Bear Foundation’ and I hope we can continue this trend 3,000 miles away from my Home City of San Diego.
