First Annual Noche de Risas

Of all the fundraisers we've featured, this cause is possibly one of the most heart-wrenching—so just get your wallets out already. A very small nonprofit organization called Haz La Diferencia (Make a Difference) is dedicated to the education of 80 children living in an orphanage in Baja California. In addition to providing these kids with an education, their goal is to, through a series of steps, reunite them with their mothers—many of which are working as prostitutes. Haz La Diferencia's five-step program for the women includes sobriety guidance, parenting skills, legal employment, and suitable housing. To raise funds for their cause, Haz La Diferencia hosts an evening of comedy from Latin America's famous comedians Platanito (a purple-haired clown) and La Chupitos (an animated lady hobo character). So get your tickets, or just donate—and help get some families back together.
