Givenik.com recently launched the Givenik Ambassadors program. Through the website as part of the program, cast members of hit shows are able to discuss the causes and charities they support in short video blogs. The series has kicked off with Reeve Carney (Spider-Man) in support of Partnership for the Homeless, Joel Grey (Anything Goes, The Normal Heart) in support of Friends In Deed, and Rory O'Malley (The Book Of Mormon) in support of Broadway Impact. Click below to hear from O'Malley on why he supports Broadway Impact and how you can help.
Through the Givenik Ambassadors Program, fans will have the opportunity to pose questions to upcoming Ambassadors via Givenik's Facebook and Twitter feeds. The Ambassadors then answer a selection of questions in their video blogs. Content is available by visiting www.facebook.com/Givenik.
