We truly had an amazing time at our fundraiser "Comedy for a Cause". We appreciate everyone who took the time to attend. Great times had by all! The photos included in this post are from part 1 of the evening. Special thanks to the The Salvation Army Springfield IL & Sangamon County for allowing us to hold the event at their location.

Sending a hearty "thank you" to Dr. Shaw. He traversed some extremely challenging situations to ensure The FIRM Family Foundation was able to deliver on the advertised lineup.
