Thanks for visiting my fundraising page!
I have always been involved in musical theater and it truly made me who I am today. I do not believe I would have been able to do half the things in my life if it weren't for my musical theater experience as a child.
In 2006 I took my 7 year old son to see the Lion King with my mom.
It was our plan to take each one of the kids to Broadway for their own special trip. Our next trip was to be with my niece Steph when she got older. We would see Little Mermaid or Mary Poppins. In May of 2008 my 7 year old niece Steph died suddenly of a rare blood disorder called ITP. I never got the chance to take her to Broadway or to expose her to the Great White Way. She never got the chance to see musical theater at its finest and most spectacular.
Rosie O'Donnell is a hero of mine and when I found out about RBK and how I could help I decided this would be the cause I would support. Every day inner city kids in New York walk right past New York's theater district and are unable to see the magic that literally lies right behind the doors. Help me support Rosies Broadway Kids by making a donation. Help send a 5th grade class to a Broadway show! It's fast, easy, and secure.
In support of kids that can't afford it and in support of kids who didn't make it there, please give.
For everyone that donates, when we reach the $1500 mark, your name will be put into a hat and I will have a drawing and the winner will receive a RED MESSENGER BAG from Rosie's year on The View autographed by ROSIE O'DONNELL herself (from my collection)!! OMG, right? So, enter for a chance to win a piece of television history! Now THAT alone is a reason to donate!!
AND I will have another giveaway if we reach the FULL $3,000 mark! Its a surprise!
Thanks so much for your support - and please don't forget to forward this page to any friends you think might be interested.
