In December of 2005, Sharon Rocha started the Laci & Conner Search and Rescue Fund. The purpose of the fund is to provide financial assistance to law enforcement agencies and non-profit organizations involved in search and rescue. These agencies are encouraged to apply for financial assistance for training, equipment, search and rescue animals or any item that can help improve their search and rescue. The hope is that through providing this additional assistance, these agencies will be better equipped and therefore be more successful in their efforts to safely return missing persons to their loved ones.
To help benefit the fund, the Carol Sund/Carrington Foundation will be presenting a comedy event at the Gallo Center for the Performing Arts called Laughing for Laci, October 11, 2008 at 8pm. Laci was a young and vibrant woman who had a beautiful smile and whose laugh was described as “contagious.” Her family and friends find it only appropriate that we commemorate her memory with comedy. “Come for the cause, Stay for the laughs.”
Laughing for Laci will be a night filled with entertainment. The event will be hosted by Larry King, featuring Colin & Brad and Wendy Liebman. Ticket sales and sponsorships will go towards The Laci & Conner Search and Rescue Fund. There will be a VIP reception held from 6:30pm to 7:30.
If you are interested in sponsoring the event or purchasing tickets, see the attached flier for more information.
