Fundraising events

In addition to raising funds through donations, One Child welcomes support by fundraising through sponsored runs, events and other events.

Every year since 2006, Papa CJ has organised a charity comedy evening featuring many of the leading comedy talents in the country, at the Comedy Store in Leicester Square. The listings for last year's event are highlighted below.

2008's event, 'Great Comedy for a Great Cause III', will be held at the Comedy Store, London, on Monday, 7 July.
