Laugh Hard. Heal Loud. Help First Responders.
Join us for a powerful night of tacos, comedy, and connection
You’re invited to the 1st Annual Sad Team Six Summer Banquet... where tacos and comedy meet courage and community.
This one-of-a-kind evening blends humor, healing, and hope to benefit Sad Team Six, a nonprofit dedicated to using laughter to break the silence around mental health challenges faced by public safety professionals.
🧠 Why This Matters:
First responders face the darkest parts of life so we don’t have to — but who shows up for them? Sad Team Six exists to bring light, laughter, and love to the people behind the badge, turnout gear, and uniform.
🎤 What to Expect:
Taco Bar: Because guac and good vibes make everything better.
Stand-Up Set by Michael Cheselka: National headliner, HBO/Showtime vet, and 2nd place winner at the World Series of Comedy.
Testimony from a First Responder: The raw, honest truth you never see on the news.
Mental Health Presentation: Real insight. Real impact. No sugarcoating.
Hosted by Chris Snyder, Sad Team Six Founder: A firefighter whose personal story is the reason this night exists.
🎁 Extras:
Raffle prizes | 50/50 drawing | and limited-edition Sad Team Six merch on sale
🎟️ Come for the tacos. Stay for the message. Leave changed.
This isn’t just a night out — it’s a stand for those who’ve stood for us.
