The goal of Behind the Scenes Happy Hour is not only to throw a great party but also to raise money for the Behind the Scenes charity, which provides financial support to entertainment technology professionals when they are ill or injured or to their surviving family members. Funds are granted which can be used towards medical care, basic living costs and funeral expenses. Behind the Scenes, an initiative of the PLASA Foundation brings help and hope in times of great need.
PLASA is currently seeking additional sponsorships for the 2015 event. Information on how to become a sponsor is available online at na.plasa.org/news/LDI/BTS_HappyHour_SponsorPacket_2015.pdf or by emailing bts_hh@plasa.org.
