Garden Supply Co. Signs On To Sponsor Upcoming Humor Book

July 29, 2011 - PRLog -- (Cary, NC) – As humor writer and blogger Cris Cohen of Cary gets closer to the official release of his new book “Staying Crazy To Keep From Going Insane,” he continues to accept sponsorships to help defray the cost of publishing. That’s important because Cohen intends to donate proceeds from the book’s sales to a local baseball league for kids with special needs, including his own son, Max. So the more help he has with the cost of publishing it through his own small press, Tyrannosaurus Rex Press, the larger his donation can be.

Recently, another Cary business stepped up to provide that support. The Garden Supply Company, owned by Deborah and Keith Ramsey, is the newest sponsor for Cohen’s book, and his mission.

“We strive to help build a better and stronger environment for us all to work and live in,” said Garden Supply Company’s Audrey Pettit, event and social media coordinator. “It is through the creative efforts of talented individuals like Cris Cohen, and the help and support of an entire community, that Cary is such a fantastic home for us all. That's why Garden Supply Company is proud to sponsor Tyrannosaurus Rex Press.”

The complete list of current sponsors and levels of sponsorship are available at http://www.stayingcrazy.com/sponsors/.

“Staying Crazy To Keep From Going Insane” will be a compilation of humor columns Cohen wrote for several newspapers in his native California before he and his family moved to Cary in 2008, as well as columns he’s written since then. The book has already received endorsements from Pulitzer Prize-winning humor columnist Dave Barry, New Yorker magazine cartoonist Drew Dernavich, and Pen/Faulkner Award-winning author T.C. Boyle.

“I am very grateful for the sponsorship from Garden Supply,” said Cohen. “We were already fans of the store. My wife is there often enough that I have considered having her mail forwarded there.”

The official launch date of the book will be announced soon. For more information on Cohen and “Staying Crazy To Keep From Going Insane,” visit the website at http://www.stayingcrazy.com.

Cris Cohen is also the author of the humor blog “Nothing In Particular” and humor columnist for CaryCitizen.com.
