Thank you for supporting Midtown West School/PS 212’s fundraiser with a donation to the Cancer Support Community!
New York City’s Midtown West School/PS 212’s First Grade Theatre Study program is continuing its tradition of creativity, collaboration, and philanthropy. Under the direction of teachers Bryan Andes and Rowena Hurst, this group of first graders is putting on an original musical version of The Little Mermaid with a score made up of Flaherty/Ahrens songs while raising funds for a great cause in memory of Tony winner and American Theater Hall of Fame inductee Marin Mazzie.
The beneficiary for the 2024 production is the Cancer Support Community (CSC), a global nonprofit that uplifts and strengthens people impacted by cancer by providing support, fostering compassionate communities, and breaking down barriers to care. CSC’s services and resources are available at nearly 200 Cancer Support Community, Gilda’s Club, and healthcare partner locations as well as online and over the phone.
Mazzie, who died of ovarian cancer, was a fierce supporter of CSC and actively advanced its mission to support people living with cancer and their loved ones. Her husband, Broadway star Jason Danieley, continues to be a champion for CSC and a resolute advocate for cancer patients and caregivers.
The children’s fundraising efforts will help CSC provide its world-class, professionally-led support, navigation, and education services when, where, and how impacted individuals prefer throughout their cancer experience.
