Spotlight Gala 2024

On November 17, Broadway for Arts Education teamed up with Spotlight Kids for our third annual Broadway Spotlight Gala. The event, sponsored by Mastercard, Stellar, Seyfarth, Shutterstock, Spotlight Kids, Goldman Sachs, and Tito’s, raised a record breaking $250,000+ for arts education programs around the world! Broadway buddies Ben Jackson Walker (& Juliet), Natalie Joy Johnson (Kinky Boots, Lempika), Keri Rene Fuller (Six, Waitress), Ta’Nika Gibson (Ragtime, Into The Woods), and Ali Ewoldt (Phantom of the Opera, Les Miserables) sang alongside 22 young performers to a crowd of nearly 400 fans and philanthropists at the beautiful Edison Ballroom. The stunning photos are by Joshua Silk.
As this event continues to grow year over year, we are excited for what the future holds and the extent of the impact we will be able to have on young people around the world for years to come. Details on next year’s event coming soon!
