Renée Fleming, Lea Salonga and Tituss Burgess Headline Sing for Hope's Live Online Arts Experiences

Sing for Hope today announced the launch of its new holiday initiative of gifts that give back featuring unique and entertaining live online arts experiences performed by Broadway and opera stars such as world-renowned soprano and arts advocate Renée Fleming; Tony winner Lea Salonga, who has voiced Disney princesses Jasmine and Mulan; and five-time Emmy Award nominee Tituss Burgess. Headlining the offerings are personalized singing telegrams -- SingforHopeGrams -- that uplift and bring joy to people while providing work for artists as the world's stages remain dark amid the pandemic. All proceeds from Sing for Hope's holiday gift catalog go to working artists and the communities Sing for Hope serves. 100% of proceeds benefit Sing for Hope's programs and are tax-deductible.

Sing for Hope's 2020 holiday gift catalog also includes:
