We're extremely proud of the many programs, services and
directives that help more than 17,350 people in performing arts and
entertainment. One such program, The Phyllis Newman Women's
Health Initiative
[link removed]
(PNWHI), addresses the myriad of concerns women face when dealing
with serious medical conditions. Sadly, PNWHI's founder,
Phyllis Newman, passed away last weekend at the age of 86

. But her passion to support her community will continue through the
life-saving work done by the Women's Health Initiative.
To expand our reach of life-changing resources for those in the
industry, we're bringing some of our highly successful programs
pertaining to health and housing to Chicago! There's still time
to RSVP for our free workshops

that help demystify information around affordable housing, health
insurance and more in the Chicago area.
All of this work wouldn't be possible without the generous
participation of Broadway, off-Broadway and touring shows that raise
invaluable funds for our services. These Special Performances (ninth
shows added to an already rigorous week) and Producer's Picks
shows (when producers donate tickets so your entire purchase supports
The Fund) are crucial to making sure we can continue to grow and
expand our ability to support everyone in entertainment. We'd love to
see you at our upcoming shows

We're so fortunate to have a community that's dedicated to
supporting each other through good times and bad-and we thank
you for being a part of it all with us.

Remembering Phyllis Newman
We mourn the loss of Phyllis Newman, a beloved Trustee, member of
our Chairman's Council, and founder of the Phyllis Newman
Women's Health Initiative, a program of The Fund. Over the
years, Phyllis raised millions of dollars to support women in the
performing arts and entertainment industry so they have a safe place
to go to address serious medical concerns and get confidential and
compassionate help.
Her career, on stage and off, spanned decades and mediums. She won a
Tony in 1962 for supporting actress in a musical, and earned a
special Tony, the Isabelle Stevenson Award, in 2009 for her
dedication to women's health and medical care. In 2016, we
celebrated the 20th Anniversary of The Actors Fund's
"Nothing Like a Dame" benefit concert, all in honor of the
Women's Health Initiative at The Fund.
We extend our deepest condolences to her children, Amanda and Adam
Green, and all of the family, friends and colleagues who will miss
her dearly.
Learn more about the Phyllis Newman Women's Health Initiative,
Phyllis's lasting legacy to support women in the performing arts
and entertainment community.
