Dear Actors Fund Friends,
We hope you're safe and well. Amidst the emergence of spring and
increased feelings of hope, we may also find ourselves thinking back
to last year at this time and the confusion, uncertainty and pain so
many were just beginning to experience. While acknowledging the
suffering that has especially hit our performing arts and
entertainment community, we are honored to share how much help and
support we've been able to provide in the past 12 months.
You're invited to watch Follow Spot: What We Accomplished
Together, our 30-minute recap of how The Actors Fund has responded to
the pandemic during the past year and the extraordinary impact of your
support during the COVID-19 crisis. And with more than $20.5 million
in financial aid already distributed, the fundraising and care for our
community continues.

Join us as Actors Fund's staff, Board members and people who
have utilized our services discuss the work we have accomplished with
your help. We also share our insights for the rest of the year ahead,
because while there is optimism for the days to come, our
community's path of recovery is far from over and still has many
obstacles to overcome. We're stronger together, though, and
we're so grateful for your continued support and encouragement.
