To raise funds in support of her upcoming participation in the Machu Picchu Challenge for Shelter, Lorraine O’Quinn of Royal LePage ProAlliance Realty in Trenton, Ont. organized a fundraising evening featuring Yuk Yuk’s comedians Chris Quigley and Dylan Mandlsohn.

Held at the Empire Theatre in Belleville, Ont., Comedy for a Cause attracted more than 500 people and raised $7,670 in support of Three Oaks Shelter via the Royal LePage Shelter Foundation.

Participants in the Machu Picchu Challenge for Shelter will be trekking to the lost city of Machu Picchu, Peru in August 2015.

Trekkers from Royal LePage offices across Canada must raise $5,000 each for their local women’s shelter and cover their own travel costs.
