Photo Coverage: Inside COMEDY FOR SUNSHINE at the Friars Club
For over twenty-five years the Sunshine Committee (which is funded through an annual holiday raffle held at the Monastery) has been providing entertainment, companionship and tons of love to senior citizens and children's centers in the New York area. Whether they are sending singers, musicians, comedians or performance artists to brighten up the residents of nursing homes; or providing clowns, magicians and entertainment for disadvantaged children in group homes, the Sunshine Committee is dedicated to enhancing each and every life they touch.
Each year, the Committee holds a children's Christmas/Hanukkah party, inviting 1500 underprivileged children to a movie screening at a mid-Manhattan theater. After the movie, each child receives a "goodie bag" filled with toys, hats, scarves, books and a variety of other items guaranteed to make their holidays brighter. All doled out by celebrity Santas.
The members of the Sunshine Committee work tirelessly year-round, volunteering their time and services to those individuals who need it most. The payoff comes in the smiles on each and every face as they spread that all- A Special event to honor "the funny" was held by THe Sunshine Committee on April 15th.
