Ally Veloudis is auctioning off Fun Home memorabilia to benefit the Louisville Community Bail Fund! Get more details: View this post on Instagram Donation Charity Auction! Hi friends! I’ve been spending a lot of time thinking about all the ways I can actively help support the BLM movement. I’ve decided to hold a charity auction with some of my Broadway Collectors merchandise to raise money for the Louisville Community Bail Fund. Each week I will continue to post different merchandise and items I’ve collected over the years in support of a different charity. I know I have a ton of friends who would love the chance at these amazing items while being able to support such an important cause. So please bid, tag your friends, and let’s do everything we can as a Broadway Community to help support this movement. First up I’ve decided on this Fun Home lot, perfect for any Broadway fan or collector! Included: Original sealed Opening Night Playbill, Playbill and Poster both signed by Michael Cerveris, Judy Kuhn, Beth Malone, Emily Skeggs, and other cast members. Fun Home Broadway T-shirt (size Adult Small) and Fun Home Lights of Broadway trading cards. 100% of your bid will be directly donated to the Louisville Community Bail Fund and matched dollar for dollar by Lexington Fertility Center. Starting bid: $50 Bids must be made in whole dollar amounts. Soft end date: Wednesday, June 10th at 8pm est. There must be no new bids for 5 minutes before auction can end. Place your bid in the comments and tag the person you are outbidding. Payment can be sent through PayPal or Venmo. Your donation plus matched payment receipt will be emailed after. #funhome #charityauction @funhomemusical #broadway A post shared by Ally Veloudis (@ally.veloudis) on Jun 7, 2020 at 10:12am PDT And here are pictures and videos from the kids of The Lion King!
