“Part III - Line 28”
“During the first full year of operations, the organization hosted comedy events throughout the country for military personnel and their families, as well as the general public (included in fundraising event expense). Laughs for the troops raised money and awareness through large comedy events. In many ways, laughter truly is the best medicine. Humor can heal. It also can increase awareness about the plight many of our brave military members face upon returning from combat. Traumatic brain injuries and post-traumatic stress disorder are common ailments among military personnel who have returned from war. As funds become available, the organization will help fund research for traumatic brain injury and ptsd and will work with va hospitals that treat veterans who suffer from these conditions. Laughs for the troops seeks to not only heal through humor, but to assist families who need financial help once their soldiers, marines, airmen, and sailors return from combat and work to heal - physically and mentally.”
