Cam Neely Foundation - Comics Come Home

“Our son was diagnosed with leukemia
after his second birthday and spent
nearly a month in the Unit. It was
thoughtfully designed to be comfortable
for patients and their families."

“Our family would not have been able to manage this without The Neely House…
we are so very grateful.”

- Linda – The Neely House
“The Neely’s have thought of all of the comforts of home, even though it is a
patient space. The family area which is
only footsteps away from the patient area,
is so peaceful and warm.”

“Your being there and caring, has
helped me through this very difficult
time in my life.”

the Unit provided comfort with all of the
necessities to carry on with everyday life.”

Comics Come Home

Comics Come Home is the longest running stand-up comedy benefit in the nation. Hosted since its inception by Actor/Comedian Denis Leary, the show features an all star lineup of well known comics from around the country, most of whom got their start in comedy clubs in and around Boston. This event has become the premier comedy show in Boston and the region.

CCH 15, which was held on November 7th, 2009, marked the event's 15th anniversary. The show was sold out (6,000 in attendance) and the cast of comedians was top-notch! These comedians kept everyone in stitches from start to finish: Jimmy Fallon, Whitney Cummings, Lenny Clarke, Adam Ferrara, Patrice Oneal, Bill Burr, Tony V, Kenny Rogerson and more! Every year the list changes and every year the audience laughs hard enough to shake the roof!

More importantly, CCH has raised nearly $5 Million since its debut and has helped the Foundation fund important initiatives over the years. Without the generosity and dedication of Denis Leary, Denis' production company Apostle and every comedian that has doanted their time over the years, we would not have been able to accomplish this. We can't thank every one of them enough!

Comics Come Home 16 will be held November 13, 2010 at The Agganis Arena at Boston University. Tickets are sold through Ticketmaster and at the Agganis Arena Boston University. The show sells out fast, so make sure you get your tickets as soon as they go on sale! To get in on the Pre Sale and stay informed of Foundation events, join our mailing list today.

The Foundation also has great sponsorship opportunities. Sponsors receive a wide range of coverage including but not limited to: TV commercials (numerous stations), radio spots, newspaper ads, magazine ads, postcard mailing to Foundation constituents, social media sites, during interviews and at the event on the Jumbotron, arena ribbon, and in the event program which is handed out to 6,000 attendees. Due to the nature of the event, there is a very wide demographic. For more information, call (617) 346-5900.
