LaughFest 2017 will bring a lot of laughs and a lot of money for Gilda’s Club Grand Rapids. Gilda’s Club provides free emotional support to anyone with cancer or anyone affected by cancer. They also offer support to children and adults grieving the death of a loved one for any reason.

Gilda's Club and LaughFest brings a lot of joy to people of all ages. There are many events at LaughFest which are strictly for adults, but there are also many which are suitable for all ages or especially designed for kids.
