Hello John,

At the Fund, we have recently launched our ESSENTIAL Campaign to ensure that we can be there for those in our industry who come to us for help.

The ESSENTIAL Campaign is the largest effort in our organization’s history to build our capacity to serve more people in more places. The campaign comes with a promise: To those who work in entertainment and the performing arts, when you need us, we will be there for you.

Your generous gift to the ESSENTIAL Campaign today will help us keep this important promise to assist those in entertainment at all stages of their careers and contribute to our goal of raising $10,000 this week.

Movies, theater, television, music, dance and all of the performing arts and entertainment that brightens our lives are created by hundreds of thousands of working people whose faces you likely never see and names you may never know. What they do is essential, not only to life itself, but also to the feeling of being fully alive.

They add invaluable richness to our lives, but they also grapple with tough economic realities. Paychecks are sporadic, which makes long-term saving a challenge—or sometimes even impossible.

Give today, and you will support our work to expand and sustain our vitally important programs, grow our Emergency Relief Reserve Fund and support mission-critical capital projects.

Thank you for your generosity today!

Tom Exton (he, him, his)
Chief Advancement Officer
