The event begins at 7 pm ET and will include special tribute performances by artists to be announced. Guests will join together online to support The Actors Fund’s services that foster stability and resiliency and provide a safety net over the lifespan of members of the performing arts and entertainment industry.

“Throughout our 139-year history, The Actors Fund has been incredibly fortunate to have steadfast support for our work, “said Joe Benincasa, President, and CEO of The Actors Fund. “And this year’s Medal of Honor recipients—Debbie, Niko, Stacey, Seth, and James—continue this legacy in their commitment to not only The Actors Fund but also to the entire performing arts and entertainment community. We can’t wait to celebrate their invaluable contributions to support life in the arts.”
