Over $ 750,000 Raised To Support Families Impacted by Alzheimer’s and Related Dementias
LOS ANGELES, May 7, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Last night, Hilarity for Charity (HFC), the national nonprofit founded by Seth Rogen and Lauren Miller Rogen, brought its signature fundraising event, Seth Goes Greek, to a packed house at the iconic Greek Theatre as part of the Netflix Is A Joke Festival.
Hosted by Rogen, the star-studded lineup delivered a standout evening of comedy, music and purpose, featuring performances by Josh Gad, Eric André, Nikki Glaser, Nick Kroll, Justin Willman, Sarah Silverman, Jon Stewart, Michael Bublé, and Busta Rhymes.
From razor-sharp stand-up sets to a musical performance by Busta Rhymes that had the crowd on its feet, Seth Rogen once again proved why this annual fundraiser has become one of the most anticipated events of the Netflix Is a Joke Festival, blending entertainment and impact in a way only HFC can.
The event raised over $750,000, including a generous matching gift from Home Instead during the live fundraising appeal when Michael Bublé joined Seth on stage wearing a QR code costume. Proceeds from the evening will support Hilarity for Charity’s mission to care for families impacted by Alzheimer’s disease, accelerate brain health research and education, and activate the next generation of advocates.
“Hilarity for Charity has always been about reimagining how we show up for Alzheimer’s and every comedian, every artist, every person in that audience showed up for something bigger than themselves,” said Seth Rogen & Lauren Miller Rogen. “This community continues to show that you can care deeply and still find joy, and that’s powerful.”
