The Off-Broadway League is recognizing the needs of the less fortunate this holiday season - particularly under privileged children - by launching the annual OFF-BROADWAY TOY DRIVE, taking place now through Wednesday, December 20th benefiting Safe Horizon, the largest non-profit victim services agency in the United States, touching the lives of more than 250,000 children, adults and families affected by crime and abuse throughout New York City each year.
Safe Horizon provides compassionate and expert support for people who have experienced: domestic and intimate partner violence; child physical and sexual abuse, and violent crimes committed against a family member and within communities.
For any new, unwrapped toy with a value of $10 or more donated at participating theaters, theatergoers purchasing a ticket will receive a second free ticket to that day's performance. Tickets will be offered on first-come, first-serve while supplies last. Visit www.holidaysoffbroadway.com for more information.
