Runners To Support Behind the Scenes Charity With New Initiative

Behind The Scenes is there for the entertainment technology community.

Providing Basic Needs Grants to industry professionals and their families in the event of illness or injury, and supporting mental health with training, counseling grants, and tools to use on the job, Behind The Scenes is a go-to resource for the live events profession. 

Recent support for Behind The Scenes comes from a variety of sources:

A new way to support the charity and its mission was announced at USITT 2024. The Golden Ghostlight Runners is a group intent on raising money to support Behind The Scenes programs by looking for donations to participate in a number of races. Representing all running levels, the group will officially launch in May with several events including:

  • The Valkyrie 50K
  • The Vancouver Marathon
  • She is Beautiful 10K
  • The Glendora Memorial Day 5K
  • Self-supported 100k

"We're thrilled to officially launch The Golden Ghostlight Runners for Behind The Scenes! Join us as we stride towards supporting this vital cause. Whether you're a seasoned racer or just starting out, every step and every donation makes a real difference," says Amy D Lux, lighting systems design consultant and graphic designer, who invites runners to sign up.

Supporters can donate to the entire group or select a specific runner or race. For more information visit Golden Ghostlight Runners on the BTS website.
