Celebrate World Laughter Day: Do Something Healthy for Yourself and The Community

Jeannine M Luby, a Certified Laughter Leader by the World Laughter Tour and owner of Laugh to Live, a business offering laughter therapy services and workshops, has organized local events to celebrate World Laughter Day and raise funds for the Humor Therapy Fund of the Scranton Area Foundation (SAF).  “Laughter makes people smile and feel good. We should laugh more everyday so why not dedicate an entire day to this healthy activity,” Luby said. “And locally we can laugh, while helping raise money for others to laugh, who could really benefit from the positive, uplifting power of laughter.”

Area non-profit groups can apply to the SAF for a grant from the Humor Therapy Fund provided they use the money to help their clients through a humor or laughter activity, event or purchase. For example, organizations can use the money to create a laugh cart or library filled with comedy books, films and toys or they can use the money to entertain their clients using comedy, humor or laughter.

World Laughter Day events will take place on Sunday, May 6. The first celebration kicks off at 2 PM at Arts YOUniverse, South Franklin St., Wilkes-Barre with laughter exercises led by Ms. Luby. Once the crowd is warmed up, they will be entertained by Impulse Improv Group, Puppeteers Patrick Holmes and Ryan Dillon, short comedy films from local filmmakers and other live performances.

The fun and laughter extends into the evening with a special presentation of comedy improv and sketches at Chris Barnes’ Comedy Dojo at the Scranton Cultural Center at 7 PM.

Both events are $10 at the door with half of the proceeds being donated to the Humor Therapy Fund of SAF. For more information call 650.7518 or visit www.laughtolive.net.

The 30 listed clubs in Victoria, Australia, which is the State in the south east of the country, are celebrating World Laughter Day by Laughing for Leukaemia.

9:30 a.m. - St. Paul's Courtyard, Federation Square; corner Swanston & Flinders Streets

A free half-hour laughter session will be held in the heart of Melbourne (the capitol of Victoria) for people to come together to celebrate, and to find the man, woman and child with the best laugh.  Afterwards we will be asking for support for the Leukaemia Foundation to raise funds for their patients.

People of all ages from every walk of life are expected in their hundreds, and next year we will be aiming for thousands to attend.  $5.00 donation requested.

May you all laugh lots at your World Laughter Day celebrations.
