Ogrin states, "I think our song 'RESILIENT' captures today's pandemic struggle. It was our dream to unite the Broadway community and the extraordinary work of Broadway Cares with the courageous nurses and doctors on the COVID front lines. Together they sing about strength, hope, inspiration and a better tomorrow for us all."

According to Berkow, "Given the unprecedented impact of this crisis, which is still unfolding, our goal was to salute the true heroes who are at the forefront of the battle for human lives - the tireless healthcare professionals - doctors, nurses, hospital personnel, who are literally risking their lives every day to take care of all of us."

With the help of friends and family, Ogrin and Berkow reached out to doctors and nurses who are truly on the frontlines. They heard the song and were passionate about lending their voices to the "Resilient Project". Singing from the emergency room and critical care wards, these essential healthcare heroes are the true meaning of the word resilient. You can see in their faces and hear in their voices their dedication and hope to beat this virus.

"I have to do this! I'm working double shifts and can barely see my four children, but this message has to get out. And frankly, I'd love to sing about it," said Megan Curran, RN (NICU), Waukesha, WI.

This star-studded company of Broadway performers have donated their time and talents to raise awareness of the great work of three organizations that support us all in our time of need. Including Blue Bloods' Jbara who added, "As a grateful member of both the Broadway community and the CBS-TV family, countless creative opportunities have crossed my path these recent weeks to help heal, calm, inspire, as the world wrestles with this never-before-in-our-lifetime pandemic. My wife Julie was nearby as I read aloud the e-mail from casting director Stephen DeAngelis asking my interest. We sat together and listened for the first time to the "Resilient" demo by Jay Berkow and Dave Ogrin. After 70 bars of nodding/pulsing at each other in agreement, Julie concurred, "You need to do this!""
