Variety Power of Comedy
Benefitting Noreen Fraser Foundation

On Saturday, November 19, 2011, Variety will celebrate and honor comedian Amy Poehler with Variety's "Power of Comedy" Award during the 2nd annual Variety's Power of Comedy event, with special performances and appearances by Amy Poehler, Will Arnett, David Cross, Will Ferrell, Nick Kroll, T.J. Miller, Million Dollar Strong, Adam Pally, Rob Riggle, Maya Rudolph, Sarah Silverman, UCB All Stars: Ian Roberts, Rob Huebel & Paul Schee, and Casey Wilson. Hosted by Andy Richter.

Variety's Power of Comedy will take place at the historic Hollywood Palladium in Los Angeles and will again benefit the Noreen Fraser Foundation (NFF), an organization focused on funding women's cancer research and raising awareness of the importance of early detection for the prevention of women's cancer. Using humor is cornerstone to the mission of NFF, as humor serves to break the ice on important subjects that can be uncomfortable to discuss and reminds us of the healing power of laughter.

The Noreen Fraser Foundation

Noreen Fraser Foundation - Focusing on Women's Cancers

The Noreen Fraser Foundation is a 501(c)(3) tax exempt organization that funds women's cancer research. Our mission is to use educational and awareness campaigns to raise funds for research aimed at developing new prevention methods, diagnostic tools and non-toxic therapies to treat women’s cancers. Our hope is that until there are CURES, women’s cancers will become manageable diseases that can be controlled with targeted treatments that protect patients’ quality of life.

Noreen Fraser, President and CEO of the Noreen Fraser Foundation and a stage IV breast cancer survivor, has played a pivotal role in the fight against cancer, having raised over $100 million for cancer research as a co-founder and co-producer of Stand up to Cancer. Noreen launched her own foundation to direct much needed funding to women's cancer research and created the much lauded, Men for Women Now campaign which uses comedy to raise awareness and for women's cancer issues.
