Broadway Sings for Pride (www.BroadwaySingsforPride.com), a four-time nominee for "Most Valuable Campaign" & "Most Valuable Organizer" from the New Organizing Institute, is a non-for-profit organization that brings together Broadway talent, activists and celebrities to promote LGBT equality through song. At the core, Broadway Sings for Pride connects with talented entertainers to showcase their voices to help raise awareness on the various issues affecting the LGBT community. We have performed at Couture Fashion Week (twice), Staten Island Yankees Richmond County Bank Ballpark, Jacob K. Javits Convention Center, Splash Club, Bamboo 52, TADA! Youth Theater, The Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual & Transgender Community Center of New York City, The TownHouse Bar of New York, & Barry's Bootcamp, etc. Proceeds from our pride shows benefit worthy LGBT organizations that are truly making a difference in peoples lives.

Launched in June 2011, this non-profit grew out of the tragic suicides within the gay community, and we have received support from Neil Patrick Harris, Channing Tatum, Carol Channing, Kathy Griffin, LeAnn Rimes, Bernadette Peters, Nathan Lane, Joy Behar, Wendy Williams and many others.
