The DiMarco Family, along with Friends of Cameron, would like to extend our sincerest appreciation for the compassion and inspiring generosity shown by many businesses and organizations. View the full list of supporters.
What started as a seemingly harmless skin rash quickly became a parent's worse nightmare. Donald and Tracy DiMarco stood together in a Boston hospital to hear that their son, Cameron (2 years, 3 months old), was "diagnosed with Leukemia." The brutal journey of chemo-therapy and all its ill-effects had suddenly begun.
With nothing to do but sit back and helplessly watch, as a little boy began fighting the toughest battle of any person's life, Friends of Cameron decided to host a comedy night fundraiser to help the DiMarco's with any financial obstacles they may be forced to hurdle.
On Thursday, March 30, 2006 at the St. John's Club in Fall River , Massachusetts , five hilarious stand-up comics will take the stage to make the audience laugh themselves all the way to their wallets and purses. The doors will open at 7:00 pm, the show starts at 8:00 pm and for a minimum donation of $25.00, Friends of Cameron promise a night to remember.
Please make checks payable to "Cameron DiMarco"
Emceed by Fall River 's own funny man, as well as “ one of the hottest, up-and-coming comics in the industry ,” Smokin’ Joe Holden will kick off the event with his own unique brand of comedy.
The “Italian Don Rickles,” John Perrotta, owner and operator of the Comedy Factory in R.I., is sure to thrill the audience with his rapid-fire wit, while Ed Galvin, who recently appeared at the MGM in Las Vegas , as well as voted the funniest man in R.I., will keep the thunder of applause rolling along.
Boston ’s Stephanie Peters has also volunteered her time to help the DiMarco family. Voted the funniest female comic in Boston , Stephanie has opened for such names as Colin Quinn, Larry Clark and George Carlin. The show’s headliner, Dave Andrews, will cap off the magical night with a set that he’s perfected on stages from coast-to-coast, as well as late-night television. It’s a night of comedy you don’t want to miss!
Door prizes, a silent auction and several raffles promise sports, NASCAR and Hollywood memorabilia, while autographed books and other surprises will also be there for the taking. The entire night is being captured (documentary style) by R.I. filmmaker Victor Franko and every penny earned will go to help Cameron DiMarco to take a few kinder steps on the hard road ahead.
