Hollywood couple Jason Sudeikis and Olivia Wilde helped raise $100,000 (£62,500) for a cancer charity at a special comedy event in Kansas City, Missouri over the weekend (20-21Apr13). Sudeikis was the headlining act at the Giggle With Gilda bash, which raises funds for cancer support group Gilda’s Club, an organisation named after late Saturday Night Live (SNL) legend Gilda Radner, who lost her battle with the disease in 1989.
Sudeikis, who is a regular on SNL, performed with comedy troupe The Second City, and surprised the audience by bringing his actress fiancee on to the stage for a series of skits.
The event generated $100,000 through donations and ticket sales.
