Broadway Rocks Cancer
Since 2017, SMGF has hosted Broadway’s finest stars for a must-see benefit event. And despite all 2020 threw in our way, we we were thrilled to bring Broadway Rocks Cancer live to everyone’s living room this past December 13, 2020. The exciting free online event featuring top-notch Broadway talent singing an array of favorite tunes, raised needed funds to help comfort those in our community fighting cancer.
While Covid-19 has stopped many things, COVID-19 HAS NOT STOPPED CANCER. Patients and their families need support now more than ever. All funds raised during the event support our personalized, one-on-one patient navigation program, connecting patients with needed community resources at a time when it is easy to feel isolated; make virtual mind-body programs available for patients and caregivers alike, including yoga, mindful meditation, Jin Shin Jyutsu, Music in the Atrium live on Facebook, and more; and help patients and their families in financial crisis due to cancer through our Patient-in-Need Fund.
This year we are thrilled to feature these fabulous performers: Kelli Barrett (Wicked, Doctor Zhivago & Gettin’ The Band Back Together), Shoshana Bean (Waitress, Wicked & Hairspray), Norbert Leo Butz (Two-Time Tony Award Winner, My Fair Lady, & Netflix Series Bloodline), Reeve Carney (Hadestown, Spider-Man & Penny Dreadful), Bob Egan (Bob Egan Entertainment), Lena Hall (Tony Award Winner, Hedwig and the Angry Inch, Kinky Boots & TNT Series Snowpiercer), Adam Kaplan (A Bronx Tale, Kinky Boots & Newsies), Tamika Lawrence (Caroline, or Change, Come From Away & Beautiful), Kirstin Maldonado (Grammy Award Winner, Member of a capella Group Pentatonix & Kinky Boots), Eva Noblezada (Hadestown, Miss Saigon), Fred Odgaard (Moulin Rouge!, Kinky Boots & Finding Neverland), Karen Olivo (Tony Award Winner, Moulin Rouge!, West Side Story & In the Heights), Jarrod Spector (The Cher Show, Beautiful & Jersey Boys), Joey Taranto (Kinky Boots, Spider-Man & Rock of Ages), Alysha Umphress (Smokey Joe’s Café, On the Town) and Sarah Walsh (School of Rock and Daughter of SMG’s Dr. Lisa Coohill).
