Earth Day New York Organization Joins Givenik.com

Givenik.com has just welcomed the 350th charity to its fold, it was announced by Jordan Roth, President of Jujamcyn Theaters. Earth Day New York is the most recent organization to benefit from the revolutionary way to go to Broadway (and save the world!). Earth Day New York promotes environmental awareness and solutions. It is a catalyst for ongoing education, action and change, simultaneously broadening the base of support and rekindling old commitments through highly participatory strategies.

Givenik.com is redefining theatergoers, one ticket at a time. The revolutionary service provides discounted theater tickets to dozens of Broadway and Off Broadway shows and then donates 5% of the ticket price to the charity of the ticket-buyer's choice. Give money, save money, see a show-it's a win-win-win situation.

Give·nik (n.) 1. a person whose passion for charity is matched only by his/her passion for discounted theater tickets; 2. a user of givenik.com
