This year has been such an uncertain time in all our lives. But one thing I’m certain about right now is our appreciation for YOU!

That’s why I am delighted to present you with The Actors Fund 2020 Encore Award! This award is given to our dedicated and supportive friends—people like you!

The outpouring of love and commitment you’ve shown to struggling members of the performing arts and entertainment community is simply remarkable. Thanks to you, this year we’ve helped over 30,000 industry professionals. Many are in financial crisis due to COVID-19. Some have also been impacted by wildfires and hurricanes. Because of you, we are able to provide financial assistance for such vital resources as medications, rent, food, utilities and more.

Your compassion to those in need is an inspiration to everyone here at The Actors Fund. You shine a beacon of light on our currently darkened stages…and we applaud you.

You should be proud of all that you do for our Actors Fund community, and I hope that you will show your pride by sharing a photo with your 2020 Encore Award on social media. Please tag us @TheActorsFund on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and LinkedIn and use the hashtag #EncoreAward so we can celebrate with you. We look forward to seeing your photos!

John, it’s an honor to acknowledge your incredible commitment to The Actors Fund. Thank you!
