Youth for Christ’s Comedy Night Fundraiser Raises $65K

Youth for Christ (YFC; www.yfc.net) would like to thank the Lincoln and Norris communities for the support received for this year’s Comedy Night Fundraiser. The event raised a mission-advancing $65,000! On November 4 – 5, Campus Life, Parent Life, and JJM (Juvenile Justice Ministry) came together to celebrate work being done in the area, along with great entertainment provided by comedian Mike Williams. Mike grew up with parents who were YFC volunteers so he witnessed firsthand the impact YFC leaders have on teens. It was thrilling for all to raise such a generous amount to continue this good work.

YFC is incredibly grateful to their matching gift sponsors: Weathercraft Co. of Lincoln, Joel Vlasnik with Waddell & Reed Financial Advisors, BiC Construction, and White Castle Roofing. Their generosity pushed forward the mission of YFC through the matching gift campaign.

YFC also is very thankful for their major event sponsors: ChefauChef Catering, Echo, inMotion Auto Care, Wofle Electric, K2 Construction, TK & H Trucking, CIP, Hampton Enterprises, Cornhusker Bank, the ROC Youth Center, and Lee & Christie Grossman.
