I am excited to announce that plans are well underway for Skyland Trail’s 13th Annual Benefits of Laughter (BOL) gala. BOL 2010 is set to take place October 21, 2010 at the beautiful St. Regis Atlanta in the heart of Buckhead.
This year’s Honorary Chairs are community leaders and long-time Skyland Trail friends, Amy and Cecil Conlee. Both Amy and Cecil have devoted so much time and energy to our mission, and we look forward to honoring their selfless spirit. Comedy entertainment for the evening will be provided by John Heffron, former winner of the popular television serious Last Comic Standing. This is a great opportunity to see one of the rising comedic stars – and be assured that his act will be tasteful, while also hilarious.
Most importantly, Benefits of Laughter is vital to our clients as they seek recovery from mental illness. All proceeds from BOL go to the financial aid program that assists clients and families who could not otherwise access or continue treatment. We gave out a record amount of financial aid dollars in 2009, and will do so again in 2010. Your support is crucial.
Special thanks goes out to our Event Chairs Leslie Wierman and Anne Hennessy, who are being assisted by a dedicated and talented team of community and business volunteers. Benefits of Laughter 2010 is shaping up to be a magnificent night, and we’re looking forward to seeing all of you at the St. Regis!
Sincerely,
Conni Lombardo
