Dear Friends of Jewish Family Services,
We would like to invite you to be a part of Live, Laugh, Give... A Night of Laughter, a Lifetime of Healing - An evening of Fun and Philanthropy. On June 6, 2021, JFS will once again reunite the community for another fun-filled evening as we welcome comedian and entertainer John Heffron as our Headliner. John won NBC's hit reality competition "Last Comic Standing" and is a frequent guest of late-night television.
For over 40 years, JFS has been Engaging, Connecting and Healing our community by providing meaningful, innovative and relevant programs and services. Many of our clients struggle with issues of mental illness, aging, food and financial insecurity and domestic violence. The need is ever-present and continues to rise. JFS must increase its capacity in order to continue to provide comfort, strength and nourishment to those we serve.
Your support of Live, Laugh, Give Comedy Night, will allow JFS to continue the important work that needs to be done to strengthen, empower and heal thousands in our community.
We are looking forward to sharing virtual laughs together while raising funds for a meaningful cause!
Sincerely,
Adina Loewensteiner and Andrea Cronson

John Heffron Bio
Energetic and accessible, acclaimed standup John Heffron shares an array of relatable experiences from childhood through life as a married father. Heffron was the winner of the second season of NBC's hit reality competition Last Comic Standing and has since performed on The Tonight Show, Chelsea Lately, The Late Late Show, HBO, FX, VH1, A&E, and CMT. Heffron remains one of a small handful of veteran performers to tape two separate Comedy Central specials and has an hour-long special, Middle Class Funny, on Netflix.
Heffron has guested on WTF with Marc Maron, The Joe Rogan Experience, and Ari Shaffir's Skeptic Tank. He hosts several of his own podcasts including The State I'm In, Heffron and Reep Show, and most recently The Critical 48, a weekly podcast hosted by John and his wife Rie, about their working life and relationship. The idea is to discuss what it is like when two people have crazy work schedules and can only meet up each week for about 48 hours.
In addition to headlining clubs and appearing at festivals around the world, Heffron remains in high demand as a performer at events for numerous Fortune 500 companies including Mercedes, Frito Lay, and Johnson & Johnson.
His four albums, Middle Class Funny DVD, and best-selling advice book I Come to You From the Future: Everything You'll Need to Know Before You Know It are available on iTunes and Amazon.
