The cast of classic CBS sitcom Everybody Loves Raymond will reunite for the first time since the show ended in 2005 to honor their late co-star Peter Boyle and to raise money to help fight the disease that is ending his life Has.
Ray Romano, Patricia Heaton, Brad Garrett, Monica Horan and Raymond, co-creators and executive producer Phil Rosenthal, will be attending a 90-minute event that includes table readings of popular scenes from the series. (Costar Doris Roberts died in 2016.) The event will take place this Friday, October 23 at 9:00 p.m. ET / 6:00 p.m. PT and will benefit the International Myeloma Foundation’s Peter Boyle Research Fund.
Boyle died in 2006 after a four-year battle with multiple myeloma, a cancer of the plasma cells in the bone marrow. The Peter Boyle Research Fund has supported the IWF’s research programs since the fund was launched in 2007. For the 14th time, Loraine Alterman Boyle is the event chair for the annual IWF Comedy Celebration in honor of her late husband. Since 2007, more than 50 celebrity comedians and musicians have attended the annual event, raising $ 8 million.
Some of the money raised will also support the Black Swan Research Initiative of the International Myeloma Foundation, a global collaborative project to develop the first definitive cure for myeloma.
Special guests and bonus content are promised for the event. The reunion can be streamed on the IWF’s YouTube channel, on the Facebook page below and on the website.
