In the wake of their friend’s death in<br />
20<strong>14</strong>, a group of college students said,<br />
“enough.” They determined it was time<br />
to start a conversation about suicide and<br />
mental illness. It was time to wake up.<br />
For the past four years, Project Wake<br />
Up has been raising funds to produce a<br />
documentary aimed at creating awareness<br />
of the growing suicide epidemic.<br />
Through golf tournaments, trivia events<br />
and other fundraisers, Project Wake Up<br />
has raised more than $300,000.<br />
Now, on Saturday, Nov. 24, the nonprofit<br />
hosts its inaugural comedy night<br />
– and you can be there.<br />
Headlined by Parkway North graduates<br />
the Sklar Brothers, the event will<br />
take place at 7 p.m. [doors open at 6<br />
p.m.] at the Skip Viragh Center for the<br />
Arts in the Siefert Auditorium on the<br />
campus of Chaminade College Prep, 425<br />
S. Lindbergh Blvd. in Frontenac.<br />
Known for their ESPN cult classic<br />
series Cheap Seats and their subsequent<br />
podcast View from the Cheap Seats, the<br />
Sklar Brothers won’t be the only local<br />
celebrities on stage that evening. Chris<br />
Denman and Travis Terrell of We Are<br />
Live! Radio and St. Louis Live! will<br />
emcee the event that also will showcase<br />
comedians Tim Convy, Nathan Orton,<br />
Angela Smith and Steve Pace.<br />
