Comedy club event set to benefit E. Bruns. man, 18 EAST BRUNSWICK - A series of fundraisers to help Tommie Lukowski, an 18-year-old township resident recovering from cancer treatments, will begin with an April 27 comedy show at the Stress Factory in New Brunswick. Those interested in obtaining more information about the fundraising events should call (732) 238-9252.Aphone number provided in a story last week was incorrect. Tommie, who learned last fall that he had a malignant tumor in his arm, underwent three months of chemotherapy, and then 13 hours of surgery on Jan. 30. Along with removing his elbow joint, doctors took out part of his humerus bone and tricep, replacing themwith ametal joint andmuscle from his back. Once fully healed, he is expected to have 90 percent of his normal arm movement. Though the surgery was successful, Tommie's doctors prescribed two newdrugs, as well as a round of stronger chemo, in an effort to ensure that if any cancer was left behind, it would be eradicated. Robyn and Bob Herbst, close friends of the Lukowski family, have started a nonprofit organization to help with the mounting costs of medical bills for Tommie's ongoing treatment. Robyn said the family's medical bills amount to $100,000 or more, and are increasing by the day. TheApril 27 event at the Stress Factory, 90 Church St., New Brunswick, will run from 5-7 p.m., and will include a comedy show and buffet, along with gift basket raffles and a 50/50. Tickets are $30. In order to book the event, organizers had to guarantee 150 ticket sales, and are hoping the community will come out to support the efforts. Another opportunity to help Tommiewill come April 29, when the Milltown Applebee's restaurant, 324 Ryders Lane,will host a "Dining to Donate" event. Patrons who present a flier for the event between 4 p.m. and closing time will have 10 percent of their check, minus liquor and tax, donated toward the Tommie Lukowski Special Fund.
