Programs: We bring the magic of Broadway to kids in children's hospitals who are unable to travel to the theater due to illness, sharing music and joy with more than 5,000 kids each week. Our programs include Broadway Hearts Bingo, a lively 30-minute virtual game where we sing from every show that appears on the board, and Broadway Hearts Singalongs, where kids request their favorite songs in real time. We visit both in person and virtually, always fostering joy and connection. For children who are medically cleared, we offer a Broadway Hearts Backstage experience — a fully sponsored, unforgettable trip to NYC. This includes a whirlwind stay at a theater district hotel, tickets to their favorite Broadway show, a pre-show meal, and the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to meet the cast and go backstage.
Broadway Hearts made magic happen for our 10 year old who is battling B-Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia. She was gifted a weekend full of joy and smiles thanks to the work of this incredible organization. Their amazing partners gave her a worry free adventure including a Broadway show and meeting cast members backstage. We are so lucky to be beneficiaries of the wonderful work Broadway Hearts does.
