Want a resolution you can keep? How about committing to a night of laughter for a good cause?

The 2012 Hilarity for Charity benefit comedy show, featuring comedian Dennis Swanberg, will be here before you know it. All proceeds from the February 17 benefit comedy show at Broad River Electric Auditorium will go to the local chapters of the Fellowship of Christian Athletes. 

And there is no excuse not to have your tickets before you break any of your other resolutions. Ticket outlets are located throughout the Upstate.

You can purchase a general admission for $20 or a reserved section ticket for $25 at either Broad River Electric Cooperative office in Gaffney and Boiling Springs, the Union Oil Mills Farm and Garden in Union, Christian Supply in Spartanburg, the Cherokee County Chamber of Commerce office in Gaffney or online at broadriverelectric.com. There will be a $2 discount per ticket for packages of 10 or more. 

Beginning at 7 p.m., this is another can’t-miss show presented by Broad River Electric Charities. 

With his down-home charm, Swanberg has won the hearts of audiences across the country. Swanberg combines Barney Fife and over twenty other lovable impersonations with his side-splitting stories of growing up, families, and the funny side of church to entertain and inspire over 250,000 people every year.  Swanberg’s list of impersonations include Don Knotts, Pat Butram (Mr. Haney of Green Acres), Walter Brennan, Howard Cosell, Muhammad Ali, Ronald Reagan, Billy Graham, Jimmy Carter, Bill Clinton, Forrest Gump, Slim Pickins, John Wayne, Ross Perot, Jimmy Stewart, Bert and Ernie and a host of other Sesame Street characters and many more.

The money raised from Hilarity for Charity will benefit the Cherokee, Union and Spartanburg Chapters of Fellowship of Christian Athletes. Since 1954, FCA has been challenging athletes and coaches at every level to use the powerful medium of athletics to impact the world for Jesus Christ. It provides a positive peer group as an alternative to the negative pressures so prevalent in schools today.
The first two installments of Hilarity for Charity have been big successes. With iconic comedian James Gregory providing the laughs, the events collectively raised over $32,000 for seven local charities in Cherokee, Spartanburg and Union Counties. Over 2,000 people attended those shows and dozens of businesses provided sponsorships to make them a hit in the community.
