More than 100 people packed the Merritt Club in Chelsea on April 6, for the Chelsea Kiwanis Club’s Comedy Night Fundraiser in support of its programs for Chelsea children and families. CPF Productions provided four comedians as well as sound and lighting for a memorable night of laughter and good deeds. Boston-area favorite Christine Hurley was the special mystery guest and opened the show, followed by other comedians including headliner Mark Riley.
Before the show, guests enjoyed a multi-course Chinese buffet and Kiwanis’ Easter Egg fundraiser, with more than 60 eggs laden with excellent mystery prizes such as gift cards, baskets, comedy tickets, and a certificate for a Kayem Box O’Meat–perfect for summer grilling season.
The thousands of dollars raised will help the Chelsea Kiwanis Club provide needed support to children and families in Chelsea, whether through donations of books, food, clothing, and diapers, or via its Annual Scholarship Program.
This year, the Club has increased its scholarship amounts and will be funding four $2,500 scholarships for graduating Chelsea High School students who will pursue accredited and registered college/university, trade school, or apprenticeship programs.
