Fundraiser at Governor's Comedy Club in Levittown brings laughs and good times to help those in need

The Massapequa Park Lions Club and the Long Island Pride Lions Club hosted a comedy night fundraiser on Feb. 18 at the Governor’s Comedy Club in Levittown.

The event, organized by Sue Piccolo and Sharon Wozniak, was an opportunity to raise money and awareness for charities that affect the community. All donations went to charity, primarily suicide prevention, childhood cancer, and homeless veterans in the community. The comedy night was complete with over 180 people in attendance, more than an hour of laughter, awards and raffles.

“We have three clubs in the area and we’re very focused on our clubs and giving back to the community,” said Piccolo.

Every August for five years, the Pride Lions Club and the Massapequa Lions help host a bowling fundraiser together, the money going to similar charities to help the marginalized. Over 300 people make it each year to give back to people in their community.

“They say where there’s a need, there’s a lion, and that's what Sue and I do,” Wozniak said, “not just for our community but for everyone around as well.”
