How Jersey Boys Fans Can Help BC/EFA During the Strike
November 14th, 2007As reported earlier, due to the strike, many BC/EFA fundraising efforts of this season have been halted. However, as Jersey Boys fans, we can still help BC/EFA! Visit the BC/EFA Jersey Boys Broadway site to make a donation in the name of our favorite show!
Below is an official statement from BC/EFA Executive Director Tom Viola regarding the strike:
November 12, 2007
Of course, the strike has had a huge affect on BC/EFA’s current fundraising and grant making efforts. But we are not privy to the specifics of the negotiations between the members of The League and Local One.
BC/EFA’s only hope is that an agreement that is fair to the concerns of both parties is struck as soon as possible so that the members of the entire industry can get back to work as quickly as possible and audiences can fill the Broadway theatres again.
With that accomplished, BC/EFA can continue to work with the entire community in its annual fundraising efforts at this most important time of the year for us, the industry and indeed all of New York City.
The good fortune of Broadway Cares is tied directly to the robust artistic and commercial health of all of Broadway.
