Proceeds from card sales help provide grants to entertainment technology professionals
USA - Behind the Scenes holiday cards have become a tradition in the industry for those who want to spread holiday cheer while supporting their colleagues in need. Proceeds from card sales help provide grants to entertainment technology professionals, or their immediate dependent family members, who are seriously ill or injured.
Each year, designs have been created and donated to the charity by everyone from Tony Award winners to high school students. The design guidelines (btshelp.org/carddesign) are very simple and you can also view previous examples (btshelp.org/cardexamples).
If you are interested in designing a card, Behind the Scenes will need your commitment no later than 24 April and your artwork by 15 May. Please contact Lori Rubinstein at info@btshelp.org or 212-244-1421.
The Behind the Scenes grants may be used for basic living and medical expenses. The BTS Counseling Fund assists with the expense of seeing a therapist or entering rehab. The new Mental Health and Suicide Prevention Initiative is developing tools and resources specifically for the entertainment industry.
