Voting is free and takes place from Friday, January 15th through Friday, January 22nd. The charities with the most votes win.
Why?
The Stella Adler Studio of Acting is one of 100 charities who have been chosen to compete for grant money through the Chase Community Giving Challenge on Facebook. They are the only New York/East Coast theater organization included. This funding is essential for the Stella Adler Outreach Division which provides free theater programming to low-income, inner-city youth.
Ask your friends, family and colleagues to vote. They can only win if they reach as far beyond their immediate community as possible. The hundreds of NYC teens served in free theater programs thank you and so does everyone at the Stella Adler Studio of Acting.
The Stella Adler Studio of Acting is a 501(c)3 not-for-profit organization.
As many of you know Kate is on the board of directors of the Stella Adler Studio in NYC. From Kate’s recent message on Totally Kate:
Before I sign off, I want to mention a cause that I am championing – The Stella Adler Studio of Acting – where I trained with the great maestra Stella Adler, and learned to love and to honor this craft. Currently, Stella Adler is in the final stages of a non-profit competition in the hopes of winning a $1,000,000 prize. You have all been a huge part of their competition success to date (they’ve won $25,000 already!) and I ask that you continue to vote for them on Facebook. Your votes can help this terrific institution continue to grow and thrive.
So if you have a Facebook account be sure to become a fan of the Stella Adler Page:
