Broadway Sings For Pride is an exciting non-for-profit charitable organization, which brings together Broadway talent, activists and celebrities to promote LGBT equality through song. Broadway Sings for Pride’s mission is a two-fold purpose: to present high-quality professional entertainment, while also raising money to for the LGBT community. Broadway Sings for Pride involves some of the brightest stars in entertainment today.
Founded in the spring of 2011 in response to the tragic suicides within LGBT community, Broadway Sings for Pride founder Neal Bennington realized something had to be done to make sure the community, and especially the younger generations knew there were voices out there to support them. Neal had an idea to utilize some of New York’s best talent- the theater community and beyond. Reaching out, dozens of performers gladly wanted to help further this. The response was so overwhelming, which resulted in Broadway Sings for Pride’s inaugural concert on June 27, 2011. The sold out concert featured stories and music with many luminaries from television, Broadway, and the music industries. Since then, Broadway Sings for Pride has held their annual winter concerts and Gay Pride concerts which has raised thousands for the Hetrick-Martin Institute, The Tyler Clementi Foundation and The Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual & Transgender Community Center of New York City.
Broadway Pride's mission is to educate the public, raise awareness of the needs of LGBTQ community, and support especially young people so that they may reach their full potential.
