Bryan Callen - Afternoon of Comedy for a Cause

Proceeds from the Comedy for the Kids fundraiser go directly to support The Gray Academy Orange County and The Charlotte & Gwenyth Gray Foundation.

The Charlotte & Gwenyth Gray Foundation to Cure Batten Disease was founded in 2015 to save the lives of all children impacted by Batten Disease CLN6 by accelerating the research for a cure, providing financial support for patient therapies and equipment critical to their well-being and rehabilitation. We offer financial assistance to children with Batten Disease CLN6 to help offset the extremely high costs associated with neurodegenerative brain disease. The foundation convenes the world’s leading researchers in Batten and other neurodegenerative disorders to promote collaboration and idea sharing to lead to a cure.

The Gray Academy Orange County (TGAOC) is a non-profit TK-8 school whose program is structured to meet both the high-level and complex special education needs as well as the therapy needs of students all in one location. The school is filling a gap in the traditional school environment that does not meet these medically-fragile children’s complex needs. 

Since August of 2023, TGAOC is open and serving our local kids with moderate to severe disabilities. Your contribution enhances our Orange County community by helping to fund life-changing education, therapy, and support for these children and their families.
