The following is an open invitation to anybody who is in the Wasatch Front area, or any other place but has decided to come and visit.
I'm a member of the UVU improv group called "What's So Funny?" In conjunction with the UVU Applied Behavioral Science Club (ABSC), we're putting on a benefit improv comedy show on Monday, October 18th.
Here are more specifics:
What: Comedy Night featuring "What's So Funny?" Improv Group
When: Monday, October 18th
Time: 7 pm
Where: Center Stage in the Student Center on UVU Campus
Price: $3 w/ any student I.D., $4 w/o student I.D.
We're raising funds for the "Provo Survivor," the former UVU student who was attacked on the Provo River Trail earlier this year. Even after insurance, her medical bills are over $200,000. All of the proceeds go to help this woman who has had to endure so much.
In case you have never even heard this story, here's the run down. A 19 year old woman was running on the Provo River Trail when some bastard attacked her. He brutally raped her, then bashed her head in repeatedly with a brick and left her for dead. (And what makes me really sick is it all happened in broad daylight!)
She was somehow able to survive, crawl out of a ditch and get help. She was the ICU for a very long time.
Luckily they caught the guy and his court date has been pushed back far enough that the woman is going to be well enough to testify against the creep.
Sometimes there isn't punishment enough for this kind of evil.
Here are some articles about the attack.
So if you're going to be in the area, I ask that you come and help this young woman and her family with her medical bills so she can move on with her life. Plus, you'll get a really funny show. You'll laugh and you'll feel good about yourself.
Love you.
Mean it.
