Cool Comedy – Hot Cuisine is the Scleroderma Research Foundation’s signature fundraiser. It’s a night of gourmet cuisine and world-class comedy hosted by comedian Bob Saget, featuring the foods of celebrity chefs Susan Feniger and Mary Sue Milliken (television’s Too Hot Tamales) and past appearances from some of the biggest names in comedy - including Dana Carvey, Jimmy Fallon, Jay Leno, Conan O’Brien, Sarah Silverman, Jon Stewart and Robin Williams. The event often features a special musical guest (previous guests have included Sheryl Crow, Dave Koz, John Mayer and others). The evening typically includes a small number of exclusive live auction packages. Attendees include luminaries from the worlds of television, film, music and business—and many others who have been directly or indirectly affected by scleroderma.

Since its inception in 1988, the event has raised millions of dollars for scleroderma research and brought a great deal of media attention to the disease. It has introduced scleroderma and the Scleroderma Research Foundation to thousands of people around the country.

Cool Comedy – Hot Cuisine events are currently hosted in Los Angeles, New York and San Francisco. The most recent event was held May 25, 2010 in Los Angeles at the Four Seasons Beverly Wilshire Hotel. The event raised more than $500,000 for scleroderma research. The next event is scheduled for November 8, 2010 in New York City. For ticket information, call 800-441-CURE (2873).
