Airdrie and District Hospice Society is hosting an online comedy night and auction this February to bring some laughter and hope to our community. The comedy event, Humour for Hospice, features Gemini Award winning comedian & Just for Laughs writer/performer Jebb Fink on February 14, 2021 at 7 pm. Fink will entertain guests on a special “night in” from the comfort and safety of their own homes.

Proceeds from the event will go towards enabling the Society to continue to offer all its programs at no cost. It is also raising funds to support future hospice palliative care beds in our community.

“We planned this virtual social gathering to bring a little light and laughter into people’s lives at a time when they may be feeling very lonely and isolated,” said Lise Blanchette, executive director of the hospice society. “We hope that getting some hearty laughs together will lift spirits while helping some of the most vulnerable people in our community.”

Humour for Hospice will be preceded by a two-week long online auction where participants can bid on items in a silent auction style. Running from February 1st to the 14th, the auction will feature a wide variety of items generously provided by local businesses and individuals.

Auction items include artwork, hockey memorabilia, gift baskets, and gift certificates from a variety of local restaurants and businesses.
