Fighting hate is a serious business, but there were plenty of laughs when ADL combined Saturday Night Live’s Colin Jost with ComedySportz improv to present Houston in Concert Against Hate: A Date with Laughter. More than 500 people attended the concert at Revention Music Center, raising over $500,000 for ADL’s services. The planning committee included (from left) Jake Gardner, Joel Gluskin, Karen Westall, Sue Hauenstein, Jay Harberg, Jerry Axelrod and Mark Finkelstein.
