stand up for the girlsIn less than a month the CIBC Run For the Cure will take place in North Bay. But first, there is a fundraising event tonight at the Davedi Club.

It’s called Stand Up For the Girls and MC Fran Hanover promises a night of music and comedy.

The event features headliner Inessa Frantowski who is originally from Toronto and with Second City Hollywood.

Other performers include Jennifer Honey, Leslie Piche and Anne Marie who are from Sudbury and a trio called the Party Pinyata, a music parody group.

Hanover promises a fun night with music, comedy and audience participation.

She says there will be prizes for the audience and auctions too.

The event starts at 6:30 pm with the stand up comedy portion at 8 pm.

Tickets are $35 and available at the Davedi Club or at the two CIBC branches – downtown and on McKeown.

Hanover says breast cancer affects so many and this funding they raise will help defeat breast cancer.
