Our first-ever Virtual In Stitches: A Night of Laughs comedy fundraiser on Nov. 19, 2020 was a fun-filled, star-studded event.

Our event featured performances by stand-up comedian/actress Whitney Cummings and comedians Kurt Braunohler, Jamie Lee, Chris Estrada, Dan Levy, and Esther Povitsky.

“This was our first time hosting this event virtually and we are thrilled that so many people participated and helped us raise critical funding in support of HA’s mission! This would not have been possible without the incredible generosity of our sponsors and all who donated during our Fund-A-Cure segment,” explained Diana Gray, HA’s President, and CEO.

Attendees were also treated to a special musical performance by Natasha Bedingfield, and special appearances by celebrities such as Debbie Allen, Meghan Trainor, Neil Patrick Harris, Nigel Lythgoe, Max Greenfield, Sebastian Maniscalco, Jesse Tyler Ferguson, and Rachel Harris. In addition, during the show, we hosted a silent auction and Fund-A-Cure segment to allow attendees the chance to donate in real time.

Thanks to our partner, Little Cinema, we were able to provide participants with a unique immersive experience from the comfort of their home, allowing them to take selfies on the virtual red carpet, and more.
