With a few edits for modesty, this is the original message from the event organizer and manager of the Cap City Comedy Club, Margie.
To All:
Consider this as me reaching out for a worthy cause close to my heart. Some of you may or may not know that Sam Cox has had a very rough run of it recently, actually, for awhile now. After his successful kidney & liver transplant over a year ago, he has since then become plagued by numerous infections and problems that eventually landed him in a San Antonio hospital for three months followed by at least a month long visit here in Austin and now rehab for a very, very long time. He was recently diagnosed with(ADEM) Acute Disseminated Encephalomyelitis, a rare form of MS) which affects the brain.
Remarkably, Sam is doing much better and for those that would like to give a shoutout, email He's finally at home with his wife and two sons. However, the Cox's could use some help.
So, Cap City is hosting a fundraiser for Comedy Gym and Sam Cox on Monday, October 27th. It would be great to have a "Comedy Gym Showcase" in his honor as we raise a little dough. We have a silent auction in the works, contact Kaye Ahtic & Sue Billich adriennel@sbcglobal.net. Robert Hawkins will hang for the night with hopefully more oldtimers. It would be great to have as many comedy gymers on the bill as possible. Please email me if you can perform. We'll try to fit in everyone we can.
Sam has been a unique resource for comedy in Austin. He has been a friend to all and especially me and Cap City for a very long time. I would personally appreciate your help in returning the favor.
Thanks for your help in advance,
Margie
