Thank you to those who joined us for the 11th annual Fools’ Night Out! We’ve been providing camaraderie and a great source of laughter for a solid decade through this Light Foundation “fun”-draiser! You helped us further our mission of helping young people develop the skills, values, and mindset they need to create a meaningful and productive future.
Hats off to the Encore team for going above and beyond to provide a wonderful atmosphere for this signature event! And to the talented line-up of comics provided by Mike Clarke of Giggles Comedy Club. A shout-out to Lenny Clarke for being the co-host alongside our Co-Founder, Matt Light! Artie Januario kicked off the show, and was joined by Tony V, Will Noonan, Jody Sloane, Paul D’Angelo, Mark Riley, Kerri Louise, Carolyn Plummer, Jimmy Cash, and Tom Cotter.
A special thank you to Dante Scarnecchia for sharing some legendary stories of Matt’s pranks during his time with the New England Patriots!
The event could not have been possible without the help of many generous sponsors who supported our efforts. A big round of applause for Wisecracker Sponsor, the J. Derenzo Charitable Foundation and David Howe. Subaru of New England also stepped up as Prankster Sponsor; and the Prone Family Foundation was the Giggle Sponsor!
We also enjoyed having our Corporate Partners there to enjoy the evening with us: Twelve Points Wealth Management, Haynes Group, and Granite Telecommunications.
We are also grateful to the night’s in-kind donors: KEEL Vodka, who sponsored our signature drink, Harpoon Brewery for its beer donation, Rosenbaum Cellars for the wine, Big Night Entertainment, Cardi’s Furniture for not only donating auction items, but also helping with event promotion, Russ Mezikofsky for the photos, Adam Fisher and Bryan Molk at Outfront Media for the digital billboards, and Chuck Coughlin and Back Stage Photo Booth. Lots of love goes to the volunteers who assisted to make the evening memorable too! To name a few – Liz and Scott Hall, Suzanne Mong, Nicole Guglielmucci, along with Jenna and Stephen Strickland and their team!
Now it’s time to start preparing for our fall events: the Matt Light Celebrity Shoot-Out and Corporate Training Day. We will also be watching our backs because we know new pranks are being curated each chance Matt Light gets!
