INDIANAPOLIS — A local nonprofit organization in central Indiana is hosting a comedy fundraiser to help raise money to fund programs for youth, the community and those re-entering society.
Black Ops Network, in partnership with Mobile Network One, are putting on "The Building Bridges: Comedy for a Cause" Saturday, Aug. 31 at 7 p.m. at The Municipal Gardens on Lafayette Road.
The event will feature headliner Kenny Mock, with special guests Kevin White and Judee Brown, and will be hosted by Mike Moses.
"Laughter is medicine and it helps heal the mind and the soul," said Quinton Ballew Jr., CEO and founder of Black Ops Network.
Ballew's organization offers a variety of programs.
"We teach children and youth between the ages of 12 and 18 basic life skills. We also do police interactions and conflict resolution, mental illness, suicide prevention and substance abuse," said Ballew.
Ballew partnered with Mobile Network One to help host the family friendly comedy show.
"This organization connects the community to the resources and it's very important," said Lawrne Owens, communications manager of Mobile Network One.
