LDI2018 Supports Six Non-Profit Charities With Matching Donations

As part of its overall outreach programs, LDI has identified six important charities—Behind the Scenes; Event Safety Alliance; Broadway Cares/Equity Fights Aids; Planned Parenthood; American Cancer Society; and Families for Effective Autism Treatment of Southern Nevada—that are listed on the LDI2018 registration form. This allows LDI attendees to easily donate to the charity of their choice when they register for the show. LDI will match these donations up to $10,000 to be divided among the five organizations.

“This is an important initiative that accents our support of three industry efforts—Behind The Scenes, Event Safety Alliance, Broadway Cares/Equity Fights Aids—as well as three broader charities, Planned Parenthood, American Cancer Society, and Families for Effective Autism Treatment of Southern Nevada—as a means of giving back to organizations that our attendees have indicated are important to them,” says David Johnson, managing director of the LDI/Live Design franchise.
