Help Me Support Behind the Scenes

It is no secret that I am heavily involved in ESTA, the Entertainment Services and Technology Association. And now I challenge you to get involved too. I have signed up to support the ESTA Foundation's Behind the Scenes Program with the Parade Magazine Fundraising Challenge. The more unique donations I can raise, the closer we get to winning a $50,000.00 donation! Can you imagine how many people Behind the Scenes could help with that amount of money. It doesn't take much to help - Just a $10.00 donation to this extremely worthy cause!

Hey. Do you even know what Behind the Scenes is?

Behind the Scenes provides financial support to entertainment technology industry professionals when they are ill or injured. Individuals and organizations contribute money to the program, and Behind the Scenes provides grants for emergency situations. With this initiative, our industry can make sure our colleagues are cared for when tragedy strikes.

Many people in the entertainment technology industry lack health insurance and other financial support systems that are common for professionals in other fields. Behind the Scenes helps industry members through crises, such as serious illness, injury or death by fitting each grant to the recipient's needs. Funds can be used for medical care and living expenses such as rent, mortgage, utilities, food, transportation and child care.

Behind the Scenes is working to raise $5 million to create an endowment so our industry will be able to help our colleagues for many years into the future. Please contribute today. Any amount will be appreciated. Every contribution will help.
