Woodstock Comedy Festival Returns Again

Dear Paula Ann Mitchell,

My name is Sarah Haggerty and I am a Public Relations major at Marist College. I am working
with the Woodstock Comedy Festival team to help get the word out on some of our upcoming
events. As you may already know, Woodstock Comedy Festival is a 501(3) non-profit
corporation with a mission: Comedy for a Cause. This year, we are very excited to announce
that we are hosting a fundraiser on May 13th at the Gotham Comedy Club that will benefit our
third annual festival being held on September 18-20th.
I know that you have written about the Woodstock Comedy Festival in the past for The Daily
Freeman News; your article about Mario Cantone performing at the Festival in 2013 was very
inspiring and certainly got people excited to attend the Festival.
This year, we are holding a benefit for the Woodstock Comedy Festival at Gotham Comedy
Club on May 13th in New York City. Comedians such as Tim Cotter, Bonnie McFarlane, Myq
Kaplan, Gina Brillon, and other special guests will be performing. Gotham Comedy Clubs
Fundraiser will support the Woodstock Comedy Festivals third festival, taking place September
18-20th, when well be presenting the best comedians from around the country to excite and thrill
audiences, all while raising money for charity.
Woodstock Comedy Festival has in the past, hosted Colin Quinn, Bobcat Goldthwait, Dick
Cavett, Caroline Rhea, Saturday Night Lives Sasheer Zamata, and dozens of other laughmakers. In 2015, we will keep it going, and donate to our beneficiaries, Polaris (humantrafficking) and Family of Woodstock (domestic violence) by doing what we do best. We are a
nonprofit organization that gives our proceeds to other charities, something that we are very
proud of.
We strongly believe that this years festival will be the best one yet; we are expecting some of
the countrys best comedians and are planning on raising record-breaking numbers for our
beneficiaries.
If you are interested in writing an article regarding our upcoming events, please let me know. I
would be happy to get you in touch with some of our comedians or Chris Collins, the founder of
WCF.
Thank you for your consideration. I will be in touch with you at the end of the week to discuss
further details.
Best,
Sarah Haggerty
