The Friends of Southgate Community Center, Inc. invite you to a fundraiser: Laughter to Uplift! We will use the gift of improv to celebrate the community and the nonprofits making a difference in Reston.

Witness the magic of spontaneous hilarity as Resonance Improv Alliance (RIA) improvisers transform YOUR suggestions into side-splitting scenes. No scripts. No safety nets. Just pure imagination!

Every laugh supports the mission to harness the power of improvisational comedy for community good. You'll leave with sore cheeks from smiling, memories of unexpected moments, and the satisfaction of knowing your presence made a difference. This isn't just any show—it's a celebration of how two local nonprofits create positive change in Reston.

Friends of Southgate, established in 2018 as a fully accredited 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, is dedicated to supporting the Cathy Hudgins Community Center at Southgate (CHCC) and its staff in providing community services to the Southgate neighborhood and greater Reston. The organization helps fund family events, multigenerational programming, and cultural activities to enhance the quality of life for youth and their families by offering educational, recreational, and social opportunities that strengthen the community.

Resonance Improv Alliance (RIA) is fiscally sponsored by CORE Foundation, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization. RIA’s purpose is to empower individuals to build connections through the power of yes-and. By facilitating workshops for community groups throughout Northern Virginia, RIA's improv comedians utilize the core principles of improv—listening, collaboration, and embracing the unexpected—to uplift their communities.

Doors open at 6 pm, so stop by early to learn more about Friends of Southgate and Resonance Improv!
