The Pink Ribbon Comedy Tour Rolls into Savannah

Pink Ribbon Comedy Tour Bus Pink Ribbon Comedy Tour Bus The Pink Ribbon Comedy Tour will perform a special stand-up comedy event at 8 p.m. on Wednesday, February 17 at Smiles Piano Bar located at 314 Williamson Street in downtown Savannah.

From January through April 2010, the Pink Ribbon Comedy Tour will donate 30 percent of the retail sales price for every ticket sold to Susan G. Komen for the Cure® (with a minimum guaranteed donation of $10,000) in support of breast cancer awareness and research. Tickets for the Savannah show are $10.

This one-night only event includes PG-13 performances by comedians Brendan T. Gleason, Nick Hoff, Kevin Richards, and Law Smith. Information about how to become involved with Susan G. Komen for the Cure® and breast education information will also be available following the show.

The Pink Ribbon Comedy Tour is dedicated to Kevin's mother, Renee Richards, who was diagnosed with breast cancer in the summer of 2009. Still undergoing treatment, she is the inspiration for Kevin and his fellow comedians to spread breast cancer awareness. One life has been dramatically altered for the better because of the production of this comedy tour. The goal is to help many more.

Nancy G. Brinker promised her dying sister, Susan G. Komen, she would do everything in her power to end breast cancer forever.

In 1982, that promise became Susan G. Komen for the Cure and launched the global breast cancer movement. Today, Komen for the Cure is the world's largest grassroots network of breast cancer survivors and activists fighting to save lives, empower people, ensure quality care for all and energize science to find the cures.

Thanks for events like the Komen Race for the Cure®, we have invested nearly $1.5 billion to fulfill our promise, becoming the largest source of nonprofit funds dedicated to the fight against breast cancer in the world.
