More than 250 Tina’s Wish supporters came together for this year’s Comedy Fights Cancer event — a powerful evening where comedy fueled our mission for early detection and honored cancer warriors in our community. Together, we raised $257K+ for life-saving ovarian cancer research.

Guests enjoyed an incredible lineup, including a virtual welcome from Conan O’Brien and performances by Tig Notaro and Karen Mills, bringing laughter, heart, and inspiration to the room.

A moving live speed painting by ovarian cancer survivor and artist Amy Burkman honored Andrea Gibson — acclaimed poet and activist who passed away from ovarian cancer this past year. We also shared a brief clip from Come See Me in the Good Light, a powerful documentary capturing Andrea’s journey with ovarian cancer — an intimate story of love, resilience, and living fully in the face of terminal illness.

A heartfelt thank you to our generous sponsors, dedicated SoCal Committee, and everyone who made this night so special. Your support is driving the mission forward in a big way.
