The
SpawMaxwell comedy show puts a different twist
on traditional fundraisers by giving employees
and area businesses a unique and fun way to
get involved in charitable giving. By day,
the SpawMaxwell comics are mild mannered construction
professionals (most of the time): Superintendents,
project managers, and coordinators. By night,
they emerge as comedic warriors’ Hell
bent on getting laughs. And SpawMaxwell delivers.
Faith in Practice,
Night of Comedy Beneficiary
“SpawMaxwell has worked side by side with us for years providing advice,
counsel, and resources to renovate several medical facilities throughout Guatemala,” said
Linda McCarty, Executive Director of Faith in Practice. “Because
of them our surgeons can safely serve the poor of Guatemala. SpawMaxwell has
provided constant support not only in assisting us in renovating these facilities,
which represent hope to the poor, but also in fundraising efforts such as the
Night of Comedy. We are truly blessed by their partnership.”
Lance Armstrong Foundation,
Night of Comedy Beneficiary
“We feel so fortunate to be the beneficiaries
of SpawMaxwell’s Night of Comedy,” said
Doug Ulman, President and CEO of the Lance
Armstrong Foundation. “We
certainly aren’t going to let cancer
get the last laugh and are grateful to
them for joining us in the fight against
a disease that takes more than 565,000
American lives each year.”
Opportunity Austin 2.0, Night of Comedy
Beneficiary
“It was a fantastic evening and a great crowd,” said Tim Crowley,
President of the Community Banking Group at Frost Bank. Crowley is the incoming
Chairman of Opportunity Austin 2.0, the economic development arm of the Greater
Austin Chamber of Commerce charged with attracting and retaining talent in business
in Austin. “The comedy was very, very good. Congratulations on the
success of the Relief Fund - it was the right thing to do and clearly, resonated
with the whole crowd.” More than $13,000 in additional funds was
raised for Save the Children/Haiti Relief through raffle sales, and matching
contributions from SpawMaxwell and Balfour Beatty Construction following the
devastating earthquake in Haiti.
Heroes for Children, Night of Comedy Beneficiary
“I want to say ‘thank you’ to the SpawMaxwell Group for choosing
Heroes for Children, and making this something so very special,” said Jenny
Scott, executive director of Heroes for Children. “This evening was
so fun and so fantastic; it really impacted the lives of cancer families in Texas.”
