Comedy for a Cause: Out of the Mouths of Babes
Northeast Youth Center presents Comedy for a Cause: Out of the Mouths of Babes, a 14+ benefit event supporting programs that help Spokane children learn, grow, and thrive. Join us on September 26th, 2026, from 4–7 PM at the Hill House Event Center for an evening of laughter inspired by the hilarious, unfiltered things kids say.
This special fundraiser blends comedy, community, and purpose — and we’re adding delicious touches to make the night even better. Guests will enjoy appetizer‑style hors d’oeuvres, and each ticket includes one complimentary drink (wine, beer, or a non‑alcoholic option). Additional wine and beer will be available for purchase throughout the evening.
The event will also feature a paddle raise, giving attendees a chance to directly support the programs that make a difference for local youth. Plus, select guests and sponsors are invited to a VIP meet‑and‑greet with the Executive Director from 3:00–3:45 PM before the main event.
Every ticket, table, and sponsorship directly supports safe, enriching, and empowering opportunities for Spokane’s kids. Individual tickets, discounted tables for groups of eight, and sponsorship opportunities are available for community members and businesses who want to be part of the fun.
Come laugh with us and help strengthen the future of Spokane’s youth. We can’t wait to see you there!
