Help us plan our comedy fundraiser! Families for Depression Awareness is holding our 11th annual Evening of Hope and Discovery on Thursday, October 10, 2024 at a hotel in Woburn, MA. The main draw of this fundraising event will be a comedy show. If you have experience planning comedy events, then we need YOU! By volunteering with Families for Depression Awareness, you will be supporting our upstream suicide prevention programs for youth and families.
Our event committee will meet monthly until September when we will start meeting more regularly. If you have experience planning comedy events, or you are a comedian yourself who can guide our committee, sign up today!
