You've been hearing a lot about the Good Times Insured comedy show DUAL North America is putting on this Summer, but what exactly is this event? How did it start and why is it so important? All of your questions are about to be answered concerning our exciting upcoming performance for charity in America's funniest city, Chicago.
DUAL is part of Hyperion Insurance Group based in London. In 2019 Hyperion celebrates their 25th anniversary, which inspired them to kick off a global charity initiative called Million for Million. The goal is to raise one million dollars by completing one million kilometers worth of activity or equivalent in 2019. Hyperion's offices across the world have been raising money through their participation 5Ks, triathlons, rowing races, biking and more! The proceeds from M4M are being donated to four charities with global reach to ensure we're all giving back and improving the communities where we work and live.
DUAL North America has been thinking of creative ways to get involved in raising money, which led the DUAL Chicago office to plan a fundraiser perfect for the city's influential and unmatched comedy scene. The Good Times Insured comedy show will be the premier comedy and networking event for the Chicago insurance industry, and all of the proceeds are being donated to Plastic Oceans.
DUAL North America is focusing it's fundraising efforts towards Plastic Oceans International, an organization committed to ending plastic pollution in our world's seas. The money raised from this event will have a direct impact on improving the health of our oceans, the environment, and our own families.
If plastic pollution makes you angry, there's good news! You can help right now by refusing to accept plastic straws, use cloth bags on your grocery trips, and always use a stainless steel cup or mug over a plastic bottle.
Another way to help is to come to our event, all of the proceeds are being donated to Plastic Oceans to help end the reliance on dangerous single-use plastic in our everyday lives. You can help make a difference!
