Story Matters: LaughFest volunteer Sarah Veselenak encourages us all to "find our funny"

This dispatch was added by one of our Nonprofit Neighbors. It does not represent the editorial voice of The Rapidian or Community Media Center.

Sarah Veselenak sees LaughFest as a big awareness-builder for Gilda's Club, and the grief support that they provide- whether cancer related or not.

We build community when we share our stories - whether they be a memory, an experience or just simply telling what we think is great about this place. STORY MATTERS. is a story collecting project from The Rapidian and GRTV. This story was captured at the Grand Rapids Art Museum (GRAM)- LaughFest Central- on Saturday, March 7.

Sarah Veselenak has volunteered for Gilda' Club during their LaughFest event for two years now. She sees LaughFest as a big awareness-builder for Gilda's Club, and the grief support that they provide- whether cancer related or not, and says that the message from Gilda Radner to "find your funny" is an important message for all of us.
