Laughs Without Labels – Comedy Show

Please join us for our annual fundraiser, “Laughs Without Labels,” an evening of comedy, community, and support for students struggling with mental health and substance use disorders. The event will feature Pittsburgh comedian and WDVE regular Joe Bartnick. The fundraiser will take place on Saturday, August 29, 2026, at Cadence Clubhouse in North Park 9999 Kummer Park Road, Allison Park, PA Thanks to your support, Stop the Judgment Project has continued expanding our free Educational Workshop initiative in middle and high schools across Western Pennsylvania. Since launching in November 2024, we have hosted 27 workshops and reached more than 5,500 students. Led by STJP co-founder Tom Bott and Dr. C. Thomas Brophy, Medical Director of the Ellen O’Brien Gaiser Center, these workshops combine personal storytelling with education about the neuroscience of addiction, and the impact of substance use on the brain. Our goal is to help students better understand mental health and substance use disorders while encouraging honest conversations with friends, families, and educators. With your continued support, we hope to reach thousands more students during the 2026–2027 school year. Help us help others: become a sponsor, purchase tickets, and make a difference. Together, we can erase the stigma surrounding mental health and substance use disorders — one laugh at a time.
