Crystal Flash returns as a Gilda’s LaughFest sponsor

Gilda’s LaughFest, the nation’s first ever community-wide festival of laughter, kicks off its 10th year this week and Crystal Flash is proud to return as a sponsor.

This major 10-day Midwest festival is based in Grand Rapids and includes events throughout West Michigan. Created by Gilda’s Club Grand Rapids and launched in 2011 to celebrate laughter ‘for the health of it’, the festival features stand-up, improv, showcases and a variety of seriously funny stuff.

All proceeds from LaughFest benefit the programs offered through Gilda’s Club Grand Rapids, a free community with a comprehensive program of education, structured sharing times, networking, lectures, workshops, and social activities designed to support emotional health. Each year, LaughFest attracts an average of 50,000 attendees to West Michigan.

Crystal Flash has three main pillars of corporate charitable giving, cancer research/assistance, agriculture/rural life advancement and family utility assistance. Each year, Crystal Flash supports nearly 200 different organizations and causes throughout its Michigan service footprint.
