Tear It Down For Hedwig

"On August 13th, 1961
A wall was erected
Down the middle of the city of Berlin...."

Hello Beautiful People! We, the atthebelasco team, want to help Hedwig and The Angry Inch tear down the Berlin Wall as hard as they brought down the house with a FUNDRAISER to benefit the Hetrick-Martin Institute.

We worked closely with our friends, the Darren Criss Belasco Buyout Team, to help make their fundraiser an OUTSTANDING SUCCESS. As of July 20, 2015 their donation total was $12,501! That is INSANE!

We are ready to keep the good spirits flowing!

It has just been announced that the Broadway run of Hedwig and The Angry Inch is closing on September 13, 2015.

This fundraiser is in honor of every Hedwig, every Yitzhak, every Tit and, of course, Stephen Trask and JCM (deserves to be noted twice).

And to celebrate the last show we are tearing down the wall for the last night donning that Sarah Jessica Parka with donations going directly to the Hetrick-Martin Institute for LGBT Youth!

Curious as to what the Hetrick-Martin institute (HMI) is? HMI is the nation’s oldest and largest non-profit leader in LGBTQ youth service programming with life-saving initiatives in New York, Newark and across the country. HMI believes that all young people, regardless of sexual orientation or identity deserve a safe environment in which to achieve their full potential. For every ticket purchased on Broadway, HEDWIG makes a donation, so we’re following their lead. Let’s help Hedwig close with a BANG with a donation to HMI.

Starting August 23, 2015 and running through September 13, 2015 we going to be running our Tear It Down campaign!

Our goal is $1989 (the year that the Berlin Wall came down).

By donating as little as $1 you’re tearing it down with the Hedwig family and for every donation you will have your name put on a list given to them on the last day of the run.

From East Berlin to Junction City and everywhere in between, we’re hoping you can join us to make a difference as we lift up our hands one last time.

Thanks you for all of your help! You know you’re rock and rollers!
