See all the social service <a href=\"https:\/\/broadwaycares.org\/granteesbystate\/\">organizations<\/a> supported.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In 2024, Broadway Cares and DRA will continue support of vital organizations across the country, providing invaluable resources to those living with HIV\/AIDS and other critical illnesses. In addition, DRA will strengthen relationships and support the Entertainment Community Fund.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Funding from Yardi has a tremendous impact on those in the performing arts and beyond. Every dollar donated allowed DRA to increase support for these organizations and expand its reach.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe are so grateful for the work Yardi does and their support for DRA and Broadway Cares,\u201d expressed Abigail Richards, development officer for DRA.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cYour generosity ensures that those without insurance receive lifesaving medication, families in need are provided with warm, healthy meals and allows folks across the country to thrive,\u201d said Richards. She continued, \u201cYour kind hearts and dedication to helping the lives of others do not go unappreciated.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Broadway Performers Hope<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Becca, a Broadway performer, was diagnosed with colon cancer recently. Overwhelmed with the diagnosis and unsure how to navigate her insurance options, she was still uninsured just days before her surgery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cBecause of you, she was able to receive an insurance plan and emergency financial assistance to access the medication she needed,\u201d Richards said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Volunteer Opportunities<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One of DRA\u2019s critical fundraising efforts is through the Red Bucket campaign, which happens every year in NYC for six weeks in the Spring and Fall. After Broadway shows and dance performances across the city, volunteers hold Red Buckets in the lobby to collect donations from generous patrons. It is a minimal time commitment (about an hour) and an excellent way to see how efforts do good immediately. Those interested in volunteering, please reach out to Abigail Richards at <a href=\"mailto:richards@broadwaycares.org\">richards@broadwaycares.org<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>DRA feels honored to receive the support and vote of confidence of Yardi and its extraordinary employees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe hope to continue to grow our relationship for years to come,\u201d said Richards, \u201cIf anyone has any questions about our work or would like to hear more about your donation&#8217;s impact, please feel free to reach out to me directly!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Find future non-profit profiles at&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.yardi.com\/blog\/category\/giving\">https:\/\/www.yardi.com\/blog\/category\/giving<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Each year, Yardi distributes philanthropic aid to organizations selected by its employees.
