The project will be ongoing through January 2009. 'Nothing is sadder than to see someone cold during this time of year,' said Gabby Malek, Chair of the Children's Committee. 'Broadway Kids Care wants to share some of the warmth from our hearts, by donating handmade scarves and collecting coats for those in need.' Later this winter, the children will also perform a special holiday concert at The Actors' Home, where they will be distributing the scarves.
