THE PATI VITALE FUND
THE PATI VITALE FUND's MISSION
is to help Professional Stand Up Comics with their immediate healthcare needs should they fall prey to serious illness.
THE PATI VITALE FUND will support direct requests for medical assistance support from Professional Stand Up Comics in healthcare crisis. In addition, The Pati Vitale Fund will support Healthcare Initiatives of THE COMEDYCURES FOUNDATION www.comedycures.org and other worthy programs.
About THE PATI VITALE FUND:
Professional Stand Up Comics are the FIRST ones in the entertainment industry to donate their time and talents
when people are in need, and ironically the LAST to be thought of when THEY are in need.
They bring laughter, and work for free.
They are a special breed of entertainers, who live to make people laugh just to give others a moment of diversion from their pain,
as well as raise money for a variety of different causes.
EVERY performer on the stages for THE PATI VITALE FUND is a friend of Pati's, and will be in future fundraisers as well.
Pati has been blessed with having herself surrounded by some of the most kind and giving people.
All who are her friends, waiting at the ready to help her achieve and support this Fund's Mission as soon as
the availability of funding will enable this Fund to create the Program(s) and/or Foundation(s) that will
be larger sources to give in times of immediate healthcare crisis.They're all people of Greatness Because Of Their Capacity Of Heart. Pati's future board & advisory board of
directors, are all ones of Expertise, Knowledge, Generosity, and are of STELLAR proportions in the
Entertainment Industry or Their Chosen Professions.
This includes her Medical Board. Doctors Augustine Romano and Christopher Sinclair.
In addition, an extremely special,kind,giving,huge hearted and One Dear Man.
Pati Vitale's friend, NY Yankee Jason Giambi.
The world has been deprived of many hard working Professional Stand Up Comics,
(there are NO OVERNIGHT SENSATIONS IN STAND UP COMEDY FOLKS)
who've had to take a gig, knowing they were seriously ill, and went on stage and
performed their hearts out for the crowd because they needed the money to put food in their mouths, pay the bills, or
send home to their families. They knew they were sick but they couldn't afford to go to the Local Emergency Room
and sadly, they died unecessarily.
Pati & her devoted, many friends will do whatever they can to ensure that
COMEDY'S LEGENDS STAY LIVING & THE FUTURE ONES TO COME!
This Fund is Pati's Gift to HERSELF and to HER BELOVED FELLOW COMEDIC TRIBE OF PERFORMERS.
She will be able to get the funds she needs for expensive testing,and other things she needs to function,
as she is suffering from a yet to be diagnosed neuro muscular illness.
The most important thing to Pati, is she will be able to
GIVE BACK IN RETURN TO THOSE IN NEED AS WELL.
Even though Pati has a husband with heathcare benefits, they do not nearly cover the
costs for even her basic maintenance medications that she must take to keep her symptoms at bay.
She must forego testing, treatments, and even much needed prescriptions at times.
Unfortunatley, most healthcare plans are not aware that they are killing by denying.
90% Of Professional Stand Up Comics today do not have the luxury that Pati is afforded by having a spouse with benefits.
They work from gig to gig.
They are artists who are driven and are unsung heros due to the generosity of their time and
talents that they give at a moment's notice to help anyone they can when someone is in need.
To quote what Dennis Miller said about how Stand up comics are viewed to Pati one night in 1995,
"We are just two rungs above jugglers and mimes on the showbiz ladder".
As more monies are raised through this Fund, Pati along with her brothers and sisters in arms for this cause,
are determined and committed to bring to fruition, a Program(s)and/or Foundation(s) of a larger scale that will
branch out in many directions, painting the landscape of giving with a broader stroke that covers all areas of the
Professional Creative Performing Arts.
Something that will outlive us all and be a constant, perpetual wheel of motion. Serving those who brighten our lives with their colorful talents.
THE FAITH THAT IN THE FUTURE THIS FUND WILL GROW, AND BE ABLE TO AID AND
ASSIST ALL PERFORMERS IN THE PROFESSIONAL CREATIVE ARTS.
NOT JUST PROFESSIONAL STAND UP COMEDIANS.
Professional Stand Up Comics are a proud breed.
They're not inclined to ask outside of their "own" for help.
Especially when it comes to money.
Pati thought this fund and it's mission would be formed upon her death, as a thank you to all of her friends in the Stand Up Community.
Well, SHE'S STILL ALIVE, WITH BIG BRASS BEHIND HER TO HELP HER FRIENDS IN NEED AS WELL AS HERSELF!
THIS FUND AND THE FUTURE OUTREACH ENDEAVORS IT HOPES TO ATTAIN, WILL OUT LIVE ALL OF US AND BE A LOVING LEGACY TO THE PERFORMING ARTS.
Shortly, an official website will be devoted specifically for
THE PATI VITALE FUND
