INDIAN HEALTH CENTER’S
7TH ANNUAL COMEDY JAM
Laughter
is Good Medicine
The Indian Health
Center of Santa Clara Valley will be holding their 7th Annual
Comedy Jam
fundraiser on
Saturday, October 19, 2013, at the Campbell Community Center’s
Heritage Theate in Campbell, CA. Tickets
for the Comedy Show are $20 and all seats are general admission. Doors will open at 6:30 pm and
the show will start at 7.
There will also be a
Reception from 5 – 6:30 pm; for ticket information please contact Liz Hunt at (408) 666-2105 or Lhunt@ihcscv.org.
The comedy line up
for this event will include comedians Jason Love, Jeff Applebaum, and Dean Haglund. The Master
of Ceremonies is Bob Sarlatte, the Field Annoucer for the San Francisco 49ers football team.
Arrive early to review the Silent
Auction item; there will also be a Live Auction during the show.
Proceeds from this
event will benefit the Indian Health Center’s Native American Youth
Empowerment Program.
This program provides American Indian youth with cultural, educational and traditional
activities that help them reconnect with their heritage. According to a recent
survey, Native American youth had
the highest rates of alcohol use (32.8%), and 24.5% of Native high school students had made a
suicide plan. Reconnecting Native youth with their Indian cultural heritage
helps them build
self-esteem and prevents high-risk behavior like gang involvement and substance
abuse.
