The public is invited to support a local charity by attending a dinner and comedy show featuring comedian K-Von, Friday, February 23, from 7-9 p.m., at Raritan Valley Community College, Branchburg. Proceeds from the event, which will be held in the RVCC Conference Center, will be donated to St. Hubert’s, a local animal shelter.

The event, which is appropriate for mature audiences ages 18 and older, is being sponsored by RVCC’s Student Life Activities and Planning (SLAP) Board, a student-led events planning organization. The evening will begin with dinner and non-alcoholic “mocktails” starting at 6:30 p.m. sponsored by RVCC’s HOPE (Health Oriented Peer Educators) Club.

Those attending the dinner and comedy show are requested to donate any of the following items: canned cat/kitten food (ground, no fish); canned dog/puppy food; clean blankets and towels; hard dog/cat toys; Nylabones dog chews; Kong dog toys; peanut butter; string cheese; collars; leashes; any other food, bedding and toys for small animals.

RVCC’s SLAP Board is responsible for planning events and other activities for the College’s students, staff and the community. The group’s mission is to provide diverse, co-curricular, meaningful, educational, social, cultural-based and fun programs and activities that enrich the student experience. Annual events include Spirit Day and Spring Picnics, the Halloween Bash and Benefit, and a MLK Read-In.

Tickets, at $10 each, include admission to both the dinner and comedy show and can be purchased at the door. For further information about the event and other SLAP programs, contact Alaysha M. Walker, Assistant Director of Student Life, 908-526-1200, ext. 8274.
