The Lake House to Host Third Annual Laughs for The Lake House
On April 29 The Lake House will host Laughs for the Lake House in St. Clair Shores. The evening will have dining and a comedy show!
On Sunday, April 29, 2018 The Lake House will host Laughs for the Lake House at the Assumption Cultural Center (located at 21800 Marter Rd., St. Clair Shores, MI). The event will feature Los Angeles’ Don Friesen. All proceeds from the event will benefit The Lake House and the programs it provides to those who have been touched by cancer. These programs include yoga, Zumba, crafting, journaling, knitting, drum circle, reiki, bereavement and support groups and more.
The Lake House Director Madeline Bialecki said, “Laughs for The Lake House is a great time for the community to come together for a wonderful evening and support those touched by cancer. We’re especially excited about our comedian headliner, as Don is the only two-time winner in the 40-year history of the prestigious San Francisco International Comedy Competition. It’s sure to be an entertaining night.”
Tickets are $60 per person in advance, and $70 at the door, which includes one beer or wine ticket.

The Lake House has helped many people and has grown each year since opening its doors in 2011. In 2017 alone The Lake House served 400 members. In 2017, The Lake House moved to its new location at 23500 Pare St., St. Clair Shores, MI to allow for more space and therefore more programs for members. This location has since created a nonprofit movement, as the former elementary school is now home to nine nonprofits, including The Lake House.
Sponsorships are still needed at five different levels: Giggle, Chuckle, Hoot, Side-Splitter or Headliner that offer varying packages such as free tickets, logo placement on event collateral, promotional space and more. If you’re interested in pursuing a sponsorship please contact Madeline Bialecki at director@milakehouse.org or 586-777-7761.
