Comedy for a Cause

Cadence Care Network’s 4th Annual Ha Ha Gala is coming to DeYor Performing Arts Center in Youngstown on Saturday, April 24, 2027, for our biggest night of comedy yet!

This year, nationally touring comedian Joe List takes the stage as our headliner. Joe has appeared on The Tonight Show, The Late Show with David Letterman, Conan, and Netflix’s The Standups. He co-hosts the popular weekly podcast Tuesdays with Stories! with Mark Normand and can regularly be seen at New York City’s Comedy Cellar.

But the Ha Ha Gala is about more than a great night out.

It’s an evening built around community, connection, and a lot of laughs, with proceeds supporting children and families across Ohio.

Your gift helps children access behavioral health care, supports youth and families navigating foster care, gives young children opportunities to build developmental skills, helps teens stay in their communities and out of the juvenile detention system, and provides resources that traditional funding doesn’t always cover.

Why Your Gift Matters

Each year, more than 8,000 children, teens, and families across Ohio turn to Cadence Care Network for behavioral health treatment, prevention, foster care, early intervention, care coordination, and other community-based support.

Traditional funding does not always cover everything it takes to meet families where they are and respond when needs arise.

That’s where community support makes a difference.

Gifts to the Ha Ha Gala help fill the gap between what families need and what traditional funding makes possible.

Whether you give $25, $100, $500, or more, you’re contributing to programs and resources that strengthen everyday life for kids and families across our communities.

Visit cadencecare.org to see the programs your support makes possible.

Can’t attend? You can still be part of the night.

Give today and help make more possible for Ohio kids and families.

Last Year, You Showed Up

In 2026, more than 260 guests came together for our 3rd Annual Ha Ha Gala and raised $25,680 to support Cadence Care Network. That generosity was invested back into programs and resources that help children and families heal, build stability, and thrive.

In 2027, we’re building on that momentum with a bigger venue, nationally recognized comedy talent, and an even greater opportunity to bring our community together around the families Cadence serves.

One night of laughs can make a lasting difference.
