Dennis has recently started the Potential
Unlimited Foundation.

Nathan's Battle Foundation
is on pace to produce a treatment and potential cure for Batten's Disease.
The Milto family, in Indianapolis, has two sons that were diagnosed with
the horrid disease that could claim the lives of their sons. Instead
of surrendering, this family took up this battle to raise the money needed
to find a cure. Cornell University is involved in clinical
testing of this treatment and potential cure right now. However,
there is a need to raise an additional $2 million.

Another charity that Dennis supports
is the National MS Society. In October of 2003
Dennis was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis. There have been great
strides made in the treatment of this disease but there is so much more
that is needed. The National MS Society provides
assistance to individuals and families that are affected by this disease.

Society's website at http://www.msindiana.org

Many people are aware of Montel
William's diagnosis with MS because of his book "Climbing
Higher" and the shows he has committed to the subject. One
thing many may not know is that Montel has started a foundation to raise
support for research for a cure for this debilitating disease. The
Montel Williams MS Foundation has committed its resources solely
to research. Dennis has committed to performing his comedy show as a
benefit to support the Montel Williams MS Foundation.

Foundation on the web at http://www.montelms.org
