The Odessa Family YMCA proudly presents the “Giggle & Give” fundraiser sponsored by Sondra and Toby Eoff. The fundraiser will start at 7 p.m. (with doors opening at 6 p.m.) April 4 at The Ector Theatre, and it will feature comedian Lucas Bohn.

“We are blessed to have the opportunity to hold a fundraiser at The Ector Theatre, thanks to the generosity of Sondra and Toby Eoff,” Odessa Family YMCA CEO Crissy Medina said in a news release. “In matching the values with the YMCA, we are excited to welcome comedian Lucas Bohn to the Permian Basin for a clean comedy show. We are expected to have a very busy 2024 and this is the perfect event to kick off the start to our annual campaign.”

The fundraiser will benefit the annual campaign for the Odessa Family YMCA. Those funds will benefit the PreK-3 program, which they have in partnership with the Ector County Independent School District, youth sports scholarships and free community events held throughout the year, including Healthy Kids Day.

In addition to the comedy show, the Odessa Family YMCA will hold a silent auction with all proceeds going to their annual campaign. Current silent auction items include suite tickets to a Dallas Cowboys football game, artwork from the Odessa Family YMCA Learning Centers, 2-night hotel stay in Marfa, WNBA Tickets, private dance classes, Odessa Jackalopes tickets, Six Flag/Hurricane Harbor tickets and many more. They are accepting items for the silent auction.

Lucas Bohn has been seen on NBC’s “Bring the Funny” and CBS’ Coastal Comedy Live, performing with comedy legends like Kevin Hart, Jimmy Fallon and Dave Chappelle. His first comedy special, “Too Cool for School,” went viral with over 50 million views.

CBS7 news anchor Jay Hendricks will serve as master of ceremonies for the event.
