Annual Diaper Drive, in conjunction with Moms Comedy Night!

YWCA Support Network

Sometimes we take a break from laughter to consider more serious topics, such as domestic violence. Even in a town with a happy name like "Sunnyvale," women and children seek support, refuge and hope. The YWCA Support Network exists to empower our community to live free of domestic violence.

Some things are always in great demand at the shelter for battered women, and diapers rank near the top. Help Rooster T. Feathers help domestic violence survivors by donating to our Second Annual Diaper Drive to benefit The Support Network.

This year's event takes place Wednesday October 6 and Thursday October 7 between 6:00pm and 8:00pm. Bring in at least one pack of disposable diapers in any size (but especially 2-5), and as a "thank you" receive a ticket for a future show! Baby wipes are also in need, and cash donations are always accepted.

This year's Diaper Drive is held in conjunction with a special comedy show for moms, and anyone who has a mom or knows a mom!  Jacki Kane, a Portland-based mom and comedian, headlines the show, which is scheduled for one night only: Wednesday October 6. The show is presented by Moms Are Talking! TV, a talk show for moms, by moms, about moms, with moms....you get the picture. Jacki is taping a spot as a guest on the show, and the crew will be on hand to film her performance as well! Hosted by Roosters'-favorite Jeff Applebaum, the show is clean, clever and hilarious! Tickets are $15, and are available online. Bring in a pack of diapers before that show and get a ticket for a future show (sorry, but you can't use your free ticket for that show)!

If you show up with diapers in hand on Thursday October 7 for the 8:00pm show with Dan Cummins, you can use your free ticket that night or for another upcoming show (subject to restrictions).

Change lives...one diaper at a time.
