The Enchanted Theatre Company will keep guests laughing during a special charity improv night.
WOODSTOCK - A special improv night in the Friendly City will support the Baby Alex Teddy Bear Drive.
Teams from the Enchanted Theatre Company will be given a variety of different topics and sentences they will have to improvise into comical skits in front of an audience.
Liz Wismer-Van Meer, one of the organizers, says there will also be a live auction.
"There's some really good items including co-hosting with Dan Henry here at Heart FM, being a mayor for the day with Mayor Trevor Birtch - lots of really great things on the live auction and some really fun improv; you're definitely going to be laughing."
The fundraiser on Saturday October 8th will also be catered by Jed Lau.
This is the 7th year of the Baby Alex Teddy Bear Drive. It began a year after Mary Rodrigues lost her four month old son Alexander Gideon Fleming to an impaired driver. Each year the teddy bears collected are donated to the Children's Health Foundation and the Woodstock Hospital Foundation.
Rodrigues tells Heart FM the proceeds from this event will help deliver care packages to kids and teens in the Child and Youth Mental Health Program.
"Those children never ever get anything and we want to make sure that they definitely get something every Christmas. We also do it in the spring."
Last year they donated a total of 225 baskets and some of them also went to elderly patients at the Woodstock Hospital who no longer have a family.
Tickets for the event cost $25 and you can purchase them by calling the Enchanted Theatre Company 519-602-2883. Those who attend are also welcome to bring a stuffed animal to donate to the Baby Alex Teddy Bear Drive.
The fundraiser will kick off at 7:30 p.m. and is expected to end at 10:30 p.m.
