Houston, August 12-13, 2008 – Houston general contractor SpawMaxwell is at it again – telling jokes and raising money for a good cause. After selling out the first show, a second show was added on Tuesday, August 12, beginning promptly at 7 p.m. until 9 p.m. at the Improv Club and Dinner Theater, I-10 @ Silber in Houston. Doors open for networking at 6 p.m. This year’s beneficiary once again is Faith in Practice, a medical mission that serves the poor of Guatemala. All proceeds from the show – more than $55,000 raised to date, and more than doubling the amount raised in 2007 – goes to Faith in Practice.  

“SpawMaxwell has worked side by side with us for years providing advice, counsel, and resources to renovate several medical facilities throughout Guatemala,” said Linda McCarty, Executive Director of Faith in Practice. “Because of them our surgeons can safely serve the poor of Guatemala. SpawMaxwell has provided constant support not only in assisting us in renovating these facilities, which represent hope to the poor, but also in fundraising efforts such as the Night of Comedy. We are truly blessed by their partnership.”

The SpawMaxwell comedy show puts a different twist on traditional fundraisers by giving employees and area businesses a unique and fun way to get involved in charitable giving. The Night of Comedy attracted more than 50 Houston area businesses as event sponsors. By day, the SpawMaxwell comics are mild mannered construction professionals (most of the time): Superintendents, project managers, and coordinators. By night, they emerge as comedic warriors’ Hell bent on getting laughs. And SpawMaxwell delivers. See clips from previous shows at:
