Broadway Kids Care Teams with UNICEF for Kids Night on Broadway

On Halloween, more than twenty Broadway Kids Care (BKC) members from numerous shows will team with UNICEF at Kids Night on Broadway at Madame Tussads. BKC/UNICEF will have a booth where kids can decorate Trick-or-Treat for UNICEF boxes and make fun crafts. Alex Ko (Billy Elliot), Matthew Lobenhofer (Gypsy), Katherine McNamara (A Little Night Music), Catherine Missal (Mary Poppins), and Laurissa Romain (South Pacific) will be on hand to meet guests at the ever popular autograph alley.

Broadway Kids Care was founded by producer Kelly Gonda in 2007 as a way to bring children together from current and past Broadway shows and offer them the opportunity to perform community service. Since its inception, BKC has hosted Holiday Events and assembled packages for the children of Freedom House and Secret Garden. BKC also entertains the residents of the Lilian Booth Actor's Home with a holiday concert and handmade gifts. In the past they have participated in the Good Morning America coat drive, knit scarves, sent care packages to the Troops in Iraq, decorated hats and bandannas for children undergoing chemo at Morgan Stanley Children's Hospital, and raised money for the UNICEF/Pampers One Pack=One Vaccine program.
