Step into the Spotlight Soiree Presenting Sponsor

Financial barriers should not limit creative expression

Sarah pours her heart out as she sings into her favorite hairbrush and aspires to stand on a Broadway stage. Sam plays chords on an air guitar and dreams of being in a rock band. Elisa pivots on her tiptoes in front of her mirror as she imagines what life would be like in the New York City Ballet. These three children want so desperately to creatively express themselves, but financial challenges prevent them from doing so. That’s where we come in. With your help, the Zzak G. Applaud Our Kids Foundation can provide children with the resources they need to turn their dreams into reality.
