I know some people on this board may be young and may not have their own credit cards, but perhaps if you discuss it with your parents they might agree to a donation, and its totally tax deductible and can be as little as five dollars. Alternatively, you can join the fundraising efforts like I have, and set up a fundraising page and goal asking your friends and family to donate in your name to the Hairspray team to support BC/EFA. nondisclosed_email@example.com (spouzic)Wed, 21 Nov 2007 03:35:59 +0000 Re: Support BC/EFA during the strike...https://besprayed.runboard.com/p564,from=rss#post564https://besprayed.runboard.com/p564,from=rss#post564It's really sad that Hairspray has only reached literally 1% of their goal. How do you go about giving money to the show for BC/EFA?nondisclosed_email@example.com (welcometothe60s)Wed, 21 Nov 2007 03:25:42 +0000 Support BC/EFA during the strike...https://besprayed.runboard.com/p561,from=rss#post561https://besprayed.runboard.com/p561,from=rss#post561Every year at this time, theatres across the country join forces to support Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS with after-show pleas for donations and special merchandise sales. As you know Broadway stagehands are on strike and every week of fundraising lost to the cancelled performances is a loss of over $350,000 to BC/EFA. Last year's GYPSY OF THE YEAR fundraising raised over $3 million. Revenue normally raised from the in-theatre appeals prior to The GYPSY OF THE YEAR Competition makes up over 20% of BC/EFA's annual budget. Broadway Cares provides support to The AIDS INITIATIVE; The Phyllis Newman WOMEN'S HEALTH INITIATIVE; A FREE HEALTH CLINIC and much more with The Actors Fund - an employee assistance program for the entire entertainment industry. Broadway Cares also makes grants to over 400 AIDS and family service organizations across the country - supporting food banks, health clinics and housing programs across the country. I have signed up to help BC/EFA in its fundraising efforts, I hope you join me by contributing toward my goal or by joining a team yourself. Its a wonderful organization that has been caught in the middle of the storm. Remember: What we do together, really does make a difference.
