John Stamos to Receive Bob Saget Legacy Award at SRF Benefit

The October 13, 2026, event at the Beverly Wilshire will feature a comedy showcase and a multi-course dinner curated by chef Susan Feniger. The lineup includes performances by Matt Friend, Ron Funches, and Lisa Ann Walter, with Jeff Ross returning as host and Seth Green serving as a guest auctioneer. The award, established in 2023, recognizes those who leverage their public platforms to advance the foundation’s mission, mirroring the long-term dedication of the late Bob Saget.

Kelly Rizzo, who serves as event co-chair, noted that Stamos has remained a constant presence for the scleroderma community since Saget’s passing. Beyond his stage and screen career, Stamos has actively raised funds through creative initiatives, including the 2023 launch of awareness bracelets that directed all proceeds to the nonprofit. Since its inception in 1987, the Cool Comedy • Hot Cuisine series has raised over $30 million to support the organization’s goal of finding a cure for the life-threatening condition.
