鈥淲e were so moved by the reactions to our Vote-A-Thon in 2020 that we
wanted to continue the tradition and provide a place where people can
go to get away from some of the stress of election day, but still stay
informed and most importantly鈥攂e entertained!鈥� said Rudetsky and Jackson
in an earlier joint statement. 鈥淥ur live event is the perfect way to pass the
time while you鈥檙e in line at the polls or waiting for the results. We
are so grateful to those in the community who will be joining us to
share their voting experiences and sing and/or dance up a storm!鈥�
鈥淧eople in the performing arts and entertainment industry are still struggling to get back on their feet after the last few years of the pandemic and work stoppages. The Entertainment Community Fund is here to help those in need, and we in turn continue to rely on the generosity of others to sustain that support,鈥� added Joe Benincasa, president and CEO of the Entertainment Community Fund. 鈥淪eth and James have kept the focus on how the Fund helps others since the launch of Stars in the House in March 2020, and their brilliant and entertaining outreach is deeply, profoundly and sincerely appreciated.鈥�
