Austin Contractor Raises $17K for Lance Armstrong Foundation
3rd Annual Comedy Show Uses Construction Talent to Get Laughs
 

Austin, Texas, November 5, 2008 – Austin general contractor SpawMaxwell is at it again – telling jokes and raising money for a good cause. The 3rd Annual Night of Comedy featuring SpawMaxwell stand-up comics starts with networking and cash bar at 6 p.m. and show from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m., Wednesday, November 5 at the Cap City Comedy Club. This year’s beneficiary is the Lance Armstrong Foundation, which inspires and empowers people affected by cancer. All proceeds benefit the Lance Armstrong Foundation.  

“We feel so fortunate to be the beneficiaries of SpawMaxwell’s Night of Comedy,” said Doug Ulman, President and CEO of the Lance Armstrong Foundation.  “We certainly aren’t going to let cancer get the last laugh and are grateful to them for joining us in the fight against a disease that takes more than 565,000 American lives each year.”

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. More than 20 Austin area businesses supported the 2008 SpawMaxwell Night of Comedy, including TD Industries and Lighthouse Electrical each sponsoring the event at the $2,500 “Tour de France” level. 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: www.youtube.com/results?search_query=spawmaxwell
