BURBANK, CA (WISH)- Since 2009 comedian Jimmy Pardo has hosted a fundraising event called “Pardcast-A-Thon”.

It raises money for the organization Smile Train which helps provide cleft palate surgeries for thousands of kids around the world.

Pardcast-A-Thon is unlike any other charity benefit, there aren’t constant emotional pleas for money, and no commercial breaks.

Instead, Jimmy and the gang play host to dozens of guests in a non-stop, fast-paced, freewheeling format.

Experience the thrill of the live event and watch the whole show, or pop in and out during the day.

The comedy never stops.

You can donate directly, bid on a charity auction to help the cause, or purchase and download past Pardcast-A-Thons from our archives to enjoy, the proceeds benefit Smile Train.

Since 2009 Pardo has been able to raise $1.5 million to help provide surgeries.
