The LineBenders are extremely pleased to announce their latest charity effort – “Our Year to Volunteer”. Starting on September 10^th. 2009 and ending September 10^th, 2010 – The LineBenders are attempting to raise $150,00.00 through various charities and fundraising groups. The LineBenders are providing their signature Improv comedy show as a way to aid groups looking to put on events to raise money for their organizations. They kick off with a double show for The Fargo Jaycees at the Holiday Inn on September 10.

“It is our way to give back to the communities that have supported us over the last decade,” says LineBenders Director JJ Gordon. “Whether it is a last minute spaghetti feed to benefit an individual who is ill or something on a larger scale to add some extra zip to an already established annual fundraiser!”

The LineBenders are looking beyond just the jokes during a show and pitching in, in other ways as well. They have adopted a highway in North Dakota to clean, spearheading the FM area’s first “Spread the Bread” campaign and even starting a food drive tentatively titled “The Far-ditarod.”

If your organization is a non-profit or directly benefits an individual or family and you would like to get more information on The LineBenders “Our Year to Volunteer” program – please contact JJ Gordon at 701-306-6268 or email info@onlinebenders.com. We look forward to helping you out!

On Saturday November 7^th and the 21^st, The LineBenders traveled out to Casselton, North Dakota as an invited workshop for students involved in the Destination Imagination program.

The day was filled with everything from Teambuilding to Improv Basics. The LineBenders were definitely kept on their toes by these youngsters. Ages ranged from 5 year olds to 16 year olds…unless you count Bill too – then up into their 50s!

A few members of The LineBenders were members of Destination Imagination during their time at Fargo Public Schools so getting to come back and teach some workshops was a real honor.

“We had a blast! There is nothing like working with such a diverse age range and getting people excited about Improv,” said Natalie Deutsch (former D.I. participant)

The winter holidays are The LineBenders busiest time of the year. We perform at dozens of events ranging from corporate holiday parties to annual fundraisers. Our calendar fills up fast, but there is still some space to include your group’s special event. Our special mix of Improv comedy can add the perfect spice to any get together.
