Yay!DAY Comedy Night 2025

Yay!DAY’s 2nd Annual Yay!DAY Comedy Night presented by Comedy Zone, was held at The Cain Center for the Arts on April 24th, 2025. The 2025 Yay!DAY comedy show was a huge success as we raised over $37,000 to fund scholarships for students in the Lake Norman area and the Charlotte-Mecklenburg school system.

The doors opened at 6pm, with guests enjoying complimentary appetizers by Bouk Catering while generously participating in our silent auction. We were joined by Cornelius Mayor Woody Washam, who surprised Zoey at the start of the evening with an official proclamation naming October 30th "Yay!" Day and Zoey Boukedes Day in the city of Cornelius! What an honor!

The night of laughs kicked off at 7:30pm with a hilarious act by Charlotte's own Jason Allen King, followed by another hour of amazing comedy by Hickory native Jon Reep.

Thank you to all the guests that bought tickets, made donations, and purchased auction items. A special thank you to Mayor Washam and the city of Cornelius for their special recognition of Zoey and The Yay!DAY Foundation. And, thank you to our very generous sponsors, Tacos for LIfe, Polaris, Showmars, Interstate Cycles, Carolina Premium Beverage, Tito's, Truist Bank, and On The Nines Bistro. Your support puts positivity into action and funds the programs and scholarships that directly affect youth in our community. 

Thank you! 
The Yay!DAY Foundation
