Cancer is often detected at a stage where there is no cure. Early detection is the critical answer to saving lives. Did you know dogs can detect cancer earlier and with greater accuracy than any current testing?

Join us for the first annual BROADWAY SNIFFS OUT CANCER, an all-star Broadway benefit concert to honor all of the loved ones we've lost to cancer and raise money to train our canine friends to save lives.

Hosted by Broadway's Telly Leung with performances by some of Broadway's hottest stars from HAMILTON, WICKED, RENT, BOOK OF MORMON, CHICAGO, ALLEGIANCE, GODSPELL, SWEET CHARITY, A CHORUS LINE and more (with some surprise celebrity special guests) will unite for one night only to raise money to support two of the international organizations at the forefront of this cutting-edge method of early detection.
