www.oakvillebeaver.com · OAKVILLE BEAVER Friday, February 12, 2010 · 10 Comic Vision headed this way Blindness isn't funny, but laughing can help find a cure. This is the motto of Comic Vision, a stand-up comedy presentation with a long history of making audiences laugh and raising money to support the Foundation Fighting Blindness. The hilarious charity event will be in Oakville Wednesday, April 28, with a goal of raising $115,000 for the foundation. Comic Vision Chairs Averil Wiley and Rachel Fowler, who have been involved with the annual event for the last 10 years. "This year we have secured as our headliner Derek Edwards who is a very funny guy," said Wiley. "He heads a lineup of other comedians." These comedians include Lawrence Morgenstern, who will serve as the evening's emcee, as well as Meg Soper and Irwin Barker. This year's event will take place at Le Dome, located at 1173 North Service Rd., E., with the doors opening at 6:30 p.m. Complimentary wine, beer, hors d'oeuvres and hand-carved, slow roasted beef will be served during the event with a cash bar also present. Live and silent auctions are also scheduled to take place. Fowler said the charity event is important as it helps those fighting to find cures for a variety of genetic eye diseases. "Macular Degeneration (an eye disease that results in the loss of vision in the centre of the visual field) is probably going to effect someone in your family somewhere," said Fowler. "The thing about the Foundation Fighting Blindness is it is there to do research to prevent these diseases." Fowler and Wiley note they became involved in Comic Vision when the son of a mutual friend was diagnosed with Retinis Pigmentosa, a genetic eye condition that progressively robs a person of their sight, sometimes in early childhood, sometimes over years and decades. "It's great knowing that every time we hold a fundraiser money goes right towards them finding a cure," said Wiley.
