The Sarah Grace Foundation for Children with Cancer presented “Unrehearsed: A Night of Improv” on June 14 and June 15 at Hicksville United Methodist Church. The show was structured like the popular television show Whose Line is it Anyway? and featured four performers and a host playing a selection of improv games to a very appreciative audience. The show featured the talents of Hicksville residents James Weippert, Michael Pagano, John Ortiz, Potoula Anagnostakos, and host Matthew Waldman.
“The Sarah Grace Foundation is proud to have worked with David Coonan, president of Malverne Community Theatre, who has shared his talent in directing our third theatrical fundraising event,” said Matthew Weippert, president and chairman of The Sarah Grace Foundation. “Fundraising events are critical to The Sarah Grace mission of providing for children with cancer, their siblings and their families; we are extremely grateful to the community that has continued to support our efforts.”
The Sarah Grace Foundation is now in its 10th year of supporting children with cancer and their families in memory of Sarah Grace Weippert who lost a courageous battle with leukemia when she was 12 years old. The foundation provides programs and financial support to help ease the burden that childhood cancer places on the family. Donations can be sent to: The Sarah Grace Foundation, 217 Plainview Road, Hicksville, NY 11801, or by phone at 516-433-9745.
