AIDS Foundation (CAAF)

"A Night of Comedy," a rollicking evening of fun and non-stop laughs, starring Ray Romano, Wayne Brady, Kathy Griffin and Kevin James, and hosted by everyone's favorite mom, Doris Roberts, of "Everybody Loves Raymond," is scheduled for Saturday, March 29th, at 8 p.m., at the Henry Fonda Music Box Theatre, 6126 Hollywood Blvd., Hollywood. The fundraiser will benefit The Children Affected by AIDS Foundation (CAAF).

"We are thrilled to have such big names in comedy perform on behalf of The Children Affected by AIDS Foundation," says Joe Cristina, Founder and Board Chair. "It's a night that everyone will enjoy, and we expect a laugh a minute."

This event marks CAAF's 10th year of serving children affected by HIV/AIDS. Since its inception, CAAF has raised more than $14 million to support the basic needs, healthcare, social and recreational needs of children impacted by HIV/AIDS. CAAF continues to be the primary foundation to provide funds for the day-to-day needs of children and families living with HIV/AIDS.

"While CAAF is proud of our contributions over the past 10 years, we must not rest on our past history. This year alone in the United States, CAAF received more than 1.8 million in requests we cannot meet," says Cristina.

The "Night of Comedy" begins with introductions by Doris Roberts and then each comedian will do 20 minutes of standup. Tickets range from $50 -- $100. Sponsorship packages are available including a post event dessert reception to cap off the evening's festivities.
