On Monday, October 12th, MONDAYS For BIDEN, a group created by Broadway Veteran Jeffrey Schecter, held an ENCORE performance of DANCING For DEMOCRACY, a virtual fundraiser to benefit the Biden Victory Fund. The star-studded event was held on the Broadway Sessions YouTube Channel and was hosted by Schecter and fellow A Chorus Line Alum, J. Elaine Marcos.

The team at DANCING For DEMOCRACY had an original goal to raise $5000, but well surpassed it by reaching over $11,000 after their ENCORE performance earlier this week. After the success of the Biden Victory Fund events, Schecter decided to use the momentum to raise awareness and support for the local races as well. He created this dance competition and turned to FLIP THE SENATE to help allocate the funds.

Tune in on October 19th for a review of the VICTORY DANCE choreography, then grab your cameras and send in your own unique version!

The Team at Dancing For Democracy/Mondays For Biden includes; Jeffrey Schecter, Jen Donohoo, Melissa Greenspan, Heather Lee, Melissa McCann, Stephen Nachamie, Jerome Vivona.
