Host and producer Jamie Roberts says “The first four shows captured what comedy is all about-the ability of all walks of life to come together and enjoy themselves at an event meant to please all.” With Toys for Tots sponsoring, he adds, “Comedy and charity work are two ingredients necessary to bring joy into someone’s heart during the holiday season.” For more information visit website at www.jamieroberts.com When we think about holiday activities, it is doubtful that registering as a bone marrow donor would cross our minds. But unfortunately for one family, getting as many people to do just that is forefront in their lives. Six year old Julianna Buttner of Farmingville has cancer and her only chance for survival is receiving a bone marrow transplant from an unrelated donor. Potential donors must be between 18 and 55 and in general good health. Come out and register…you could save Julianna or another person’s life.
