BroadwayWorld Teams with Charity Network to Launch Charity Corner!

BroadwayWorld, the largest and most comprehensive theatre website, has signed on as the 2018 official media partner for Charity Network, including online auction site Charitybuzz and sweepstakes platform Prizeo. This collaboration will bring to the forefront news about doing good and giving back, from Broadway to the broader entertainment industry.

As part of the partnership, BroadwayWorld launched its "Charity Corner," which features exclusive interviews with top talent and influencers, as well as news about the industry's commitment to giving back. The section launches with more than 30 Broadway stars and notables sharing the causes that mean the most to them.

"One of our favorite things about the theatre community is their tireless energy for giving back," said Robert Diamond, Editor-in-Chief of BroadwayWorld. "And we're excited to do the same with a brand new section of the site that will shine a spotlight on causes both big and small."

Charity Network is a one-stop shop for cause that harnesses the power of celebrity, technology and media to raise awareness and funds for some of the world's toughest challenges. Charity Network is the parent company to leading online auction site Charitybuzz and celebrity sweepstakes platform Prizeo.

Through campaigns with Lin-Manuel Miranda on both Prizeo and Charitybuzz, Charity Network has raised a record-breaking $10 million for non-profit organizations including Planned Parenthood, the Hispanic Federation and Gilder Lehrman Institute of American History. Lin-Manuel's current fundraising campaign with his wife Vanessa Nadal is live on Prizeo, offering one lucky winner and a guest a trip to London to see Opening Night of Hamilton. Funds raised will benefit the Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC) and UK-based 1010 - both organizations combating climate change.

Additionally, Charitybuzz launched its first annual Broadway Auction in May 2017, as part of its successful Charitybuzz Curates program, which also includes themes like Music, Golf, Entrepreneur, Fashion and Hollywood.

"Broadway truly is a community and Broadway fans are passionate and engaged. We are pleased to provide once-in-a-lifetime experiences to Broadway fans around the world, all while giving back," said Charity Network Chief Creative Officer Jan Friedlander Svendsen. "BroadwayWorld is leading the way, not only in news coverage of the industry, but also in showcasing the important philanthropic work that is happening across the Broadway landscape."
