Backyard Improv LA Fire Relief Benefit

On January 31 we are holding our LA Fire Relief Benefit show.

As the host of Backyard Improv, I will be personally donating $50 for every $5 ticket purchased for this show to the following funds:

• CORE: https://www.coreresponse.org/southern-california-wildfires/
• DirectRelief: https://www.directrelief.org/emergency/california-wildfires/
• Pasadena Community Foundation: https://pasadena.fcsuite.com/erp/donate/create/fund?funit_id=6192
• Habitat for Humanity of Greater Los Angeles: https://www.habitatla.org/how-to-apply/disaster-relief/
• Los Angeles Regional Food Bank: https://www.lafoodbank.org/fire/
• Los Angeles Fire Department Foundation: https://supportlafd.org/

After you buy your ticket, you can specify which of the charities you want the $50 donation benefits, or it will be split evenly among all 6. Instead of paying a fee, you can send the $5 directly to my venmo (@cycle23x), and specify the charities, or reach me via email (cody.l.saunders@gmail.com) or in person to do the same.

In addition, I’ll be applying for 50% matching funds from my employer. Note, this portion of dontaion may take a bit of time to process, whereas I’ll be making my direct donations over the weekend after our show.

And of course, anything further you venmo me the night of the show, eg: for drink donations, will go directly to these funds.

Make Cody spend his money on a good cause! If we sell out I’ll be sending $2500 to these causes!

And hey, it’s going to be a pretty bad ass show:

Singing in the Range will be led by Branson NeJame on keyboard, who will also play the keys for the opening act, BeeBoiz, the latest mashup from Bryan Saunders! More below!

Doors at 7:45pm with refreshments served in the courtyard before, during intermission, and after the show.

You can pay here (but there will be a fee), or you can buy directly from me by sending $5 to my venmo (@cycle23x), along with any donation specifications.
