Comedian Arsenio Hall poses with Hillsides Chief Executive Officer Joseph M. Costa at the annual The Ice House Comedy Club benefit for Hillsides.

Hillsides annual fundraiser held at The Ice House Comedy Club in Pasadena, CA on October 12 raised more than $10,200 for the children who live at Hillsides residential treatment center. The sold-out show featured several top comedic talents, including talk show host and comedian Arsenio Hall, Chelsea Lately phenom John Caparulo, Wendy Liebman from America’s Got Talent, and actor/producer/comedian Jason Stuart. Before the show, guests attended a reception and a silent auction benefiting Hillsides.

Each year, The Ice House owner Bob Fisher puts on a special anniversary show and donates the proceeds to a volunteer group of Hillsides, the Hillsides Volunteer Network. The funds raised provide outings and activities for the children. Hillsides Residential Treatment Services provide a safe and stable environment where children and youth who cannot live at home, have suffered trauma, or face emotional and behavioral challenges, can thrive. Sixty-two children currently live at Hillsides.

Hillsides is a Pasadena-headquartered charity serving children, youth, and families in need throughout Los Angeles County. For more information, please visit www.hillsides.org.
