The community is invited to an evening of laughter, connection, and purpose as Trail Youth Coffee Home presents the Laughing on the Trail Comedy Night Fundraiser on September 8 at Rainbow Lodge in North Bend. The event will raise critical funds to support local youth through mentorship, mental health services, job training, recovery support, and a safe place to belong.
Trail Youth Coffee Home serves young people ages 13 to 24 throughout the Snoqualmie Valley and surrounding communities. Through its coffee home and youth programs, the organization provides counseling, workforce development and job training opportunities, mentoring, recovery support, sexual assault advocacy, and a safe, welcoming place for youth facing challenges such as homelessness, trauma, and social isolation.
The Comedy Night Showcase gives community members a chance to enjoy a night out while supporting Trail Youth’s work with local young people. The event will bring together residents, business owners and other supporters, with proceeds helping fund programs that provide practical skills, encouragement and ongoing support.
“Many young people are searching for a place where they feel safe, valued, and connected,” said Tonya Guinn, founder of Trail Youth. “This event helps ensure we can continue providing the resources, relationships, and opportunities that empower youth to thrive.”
“We see every day how meaningful support and connection can change the trajectory of a young person’s life,” said Teresa Noonan, Executive Director of Trail Youth. “Community events like this allow us to continue offering vital services and create more opportunities for youth to know they are seen, loved, and matter!”
The event will be held at Rainbow Lodge, with doors opening at 5:00 p.m. Guests will enjoy:
- Four comedians bringing the laughs
- Dinner catered by Buck Shot Honey
- A Wine Walk experience
- A Beer Garden
- Live and silent auction opportunities
Tickets are $125 per person. There is a nonprofit discounted rate of $100, and all proceeds benefit Trail Youth’s programs and services for local youth.
Community members and businesses interested in sponsoring the event, donating auction items, or learning more about Trail Youth’s mission are encouraged to get involved.
