Actors' Fund Of Canada Announces Finalists For TV Challenge
by Gabrielle Sierra - Jan 21, 2009
The Actors' Fund of Canada announced today that two Shaftesbury Films projects: The Listener (CTV) and Connor Undercover (Family Channel) are the final entrants in the running for the Actors' Fund of Canada's 2008 TV Charity Challenge. The Challenge pits TV series shot in Canada against each other in a good-natured rivalry to raise money for the Fund, each vying for bragging rights as the production that can have the most fun while raising the most money for the Actors' Fund. Connor Undercover, a kids comedy series, has completed its fundraising for the Challenge, while the one-hour drama series, The Listener is expected to announce its results when production wraps on January 29. The Actors' Fund of Canada is the lifeline for Canada's entertainment industry. Performers and others who work behind the scenes in film and television, theatre, music and dance can apply for emergency financial aid from the Fund, which recently set a new record for the amount of financial aid delivered to industry members in a single year, topping $500,000 in 2008. The Fund has helped over 10,000 entertainment industry workers recover from illness, injury or other circumstances causing severe economic and personal hardship since it was founded in 1958. Commenting on The Listener's entry, Producer Manny Danelon said: 'We are very happy to participate in the Challenge this year and we hope that we can help to increase support for the Actors' Fund throughout the production community. It's a fund that is there for any of us who find ourselves in serious trouble. We all hope that we will never need the Actors' Fund ourselves but we're all better off for having it there to call upon in a time of crisis or need.'

JERSEY BOYS National Tour Raises $32,000 for Canadian Actors' Fund and BC/EFA
by Robert Diamond - Jan 15, 2009
In their latest example of cross-border cooperation, two entertainment industry charities are sharing $32,000 after cast members of the US national touring company of Jersey Boys collected donations from audiences during their stop in Toronto in the last two weeks of November. The Toronto-based Actors' Fund of Canada and New York-based Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS (BC/EFA) have collaborated in the past, sharing donations collected from audiences at other shows on Broadway and in Toronto. Jersey Boys' fundraising success came in the weeks prior to installing a new, mostly Canadian cast to carry the show through to March 1. It follows on the heels of Actors' Fund curtain speech fundraisers at Dancap's Toronto revival of The Drowsy Chaperone last season and performances of Avenue Q, presented by the company in the fall of 2008. Commenting on the relationship between the Actors' Fund and his company, Dancap President Aubrey Dan said: 'Dancap Productions is delighted to assist the Actors' Fund of Canada in any way possible. We have the greatest respect for artists and those who work with them to create and perform the top-notch productions Canada offers to the world. We know the Actors' Fund does extremely valuable work for members of our industry and we endorse it wholeheartedly.'
