Fight the Blues Comedy Show is the first annual fundraiser which supports The Distress Centre of Windsor-Essex County, a local organization which provides crisis intervention, suicide prevention, emotional support, and community referrals to anyone who calls the Distress Line.  The service is available from 12 noon to 12 midnight, 365 days a year, and is available for anyone who needs support and calls the Distress Line at 519-256-5000.  The Distress Line is answered by highly trained, dedicated, and caring Phone Volunteers who provide free, confidential and anonymous emotional support to approximately 4,000 callers each year.  The Distress Centre, a registered Canadian Charity, is funded primarily by the United Way of Windsor-Essex, and depends on fundraisers such as Fight the Blues to help support volunteer education and community outreach efforts.
