April 24, 2007: Thank you to everyone who made the first annual Big Laughs Kickoff such a great success.

We had over 120 people enjoy an evening of food, drinks, awards and comedy.

Executive Director, Jeff Newland (Right) introduces (left to right)

• Magic Circle donor, Tim Flaherty,
• Todd Buzzard of First American Equipment Finance ($15,000 sponsor)
• Mike Coyner of Rochester Midland Corporation ($5,000 sponsor and
• Todd Cochran of C.H. Robinson Worldwide, $5,000 sponsor.

Jeff introduces and thanks our 28 Bowl for Kids' Sake Jersey winners - each of whom put together teams of at least $1,000 dollars.

Moments later all of our Big Brothers and Big Sisters in attendance joined them on the stage for a well-deserved round of applaus and appreciation.

Comedian Tiny Glover entertained the crowd with a super, fun (and yes, clean) act.

Here Tiny allows us to catch a rare glimpse of a comedian 'just acting naturally...'

Tiny had fun with the crowd... and below is pictured with his new friend, Cory Laske of First American Equipment Finance

Make plans to join us next year and you, too can get your picture with Tiny... or at least with Cory.

Thanks everyone for a great kickoff!
