Two of Jay Leno’s upcoming shows at the Mirage will benefit Iowa flood victims: The proceeds from the 10pm shows on June 25th and 27th at the Danny Gans Theatre will go to the Greater Cedar Rapids Community Foundation, a charity created to help support the quality of life in the community.

“We are extremely grateful for Mr. Leno’s support of our community,” said Dan Baldwin, president and CEO of the GCRCF. “Laughter and a sense of humor are important in getting all of us back to a sense of normal. The funds generated from these shows will have a tremendous impact on our recovery efforts.”

Tickets are $90 each plus tax and fees and can be purchased online or by calling 792-7777 or 1-800-963-9634 6:00am to 11:00pm daily

Thank you so much for your support, Jay! Even though I wasn’t directly affected by the flooding, except for the water shortage for days, I helped to sandbag before the floods and I helped clean up at the Czech Museum today and pictures can’t do justice to show all the devastation. Pictures don’t tell of the sewage smells that permeates everything that was water damaged. The people here are resilient and will bring this city back to what it was- with your help!!

When I heard that you were putting on a benefit, it brought tears to my eyes. My husband and I lost many acres of crops this year, which will hurt us financially - yet, we are so thankful that we did not lose our home like many have in other parts of Iowa. Though we cannot financially contribute to those families, will plan on lending our hands to help out. Your financial contribution will touch many lives. Thank you for that.
