Colby and I have a longstanding history with the Sellersburg Moose Family Center. My dad/Colby's grandpa has been a Moose member since 1984. The Moose has held several fundraisers for us since Colby was diagnosed with Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA) Type I, when he was four months old. SMA is a brutal, rare neuromuscular disorder that affects Colby's abilities to walk or even sit up, speak, swallow and most of all breathe. Colby requires complete assistance with all activities of daily living. However, his brain is not impacted by SMA. Colby is a bright, yet stubborn, young man who enjoys socializing with others. Recently we purchased a fixer-upper, as-is house. Over the last year, the house has gone through a complete transformation. It was gutted and redesigned to accommodate Colby's needs, including a roll-in shower, open floor plan, ramp to get into the house, whole house generator, wood laminate flooring and other amenities to improve Colby's quality of life. Donations from this benefit will help offset the nearly $50,000 in out-of-pocket costs needed to make the once rundown, old house into a beautiful, functional home for us.

Mike Armstrong will have you laughing so hard you'll be crying! He is a very kind and generous man who also happens to be hysterically funny! This is Mike's second fundraiser for us at the Moose, and we are so grateful to him for agreeing to help again. He is a local boy, raised in Louisville. He gets a lot of his material from his experiences as a cop and from raising 5 children. He is a repeat guest on the Bob and Tom Show, and he performs all over the country. We are very lucky and excited to have Mike participating in our fundraiser this month! Rolan Whitt is also a Louisville native and a comic national headliner. He plays rooms all over the country and draws some of the most enthusiastic crowds you’ll see. He is now based out of Sin City, Las Vegas. He has worked with some of the biggest names in the business, including work as a writer for the former host of The Tonight Show, Jay Leno. While stand-up is his forte, he is a versatile performer who also does improvisation and hypnosis, apart from his comedy.

Please join us on January 12. These comedians will help you beat the winter blues for sure. And who knows, you just might find that special item you didn't get for Christmas at the auction. Hope to see you then!
