Charity Work
A percentage of every show's profits goes to a charity or nonprofit organization, selected out of a pool of organizations usually submitted by the cast and alumni. Organizations have traditionally been associated with Asian American and performing arts communities, such as the Asian American Theater Company, the API Youth Promoting Advocacy and Leadership, Youth For Asian Theatre, and the National Asian Women's Health Organization. More recent donations include Theatre Rhinoceros, the Japanese Red Cross in the aftermath of the 2011 TÅhoku earthquake and tsunami, Direct Relief International to help Hurricane Sandy survivors, and St. Baldrick's Foundation.

Famous quotes containing the words charity and/or work:
“When a sparrow sips in the river, the water doesn’t recede. Giving charity does not deplete wealth. Saint Kabir says so.”
—Punjabi proverb, trans. by Gurinder Singh Mann.
“The city is a fact in nature, like a cave, a run of mackerel or an ant-heap. But it is also a conscious work of art, and it holds within its communal framework many simpler and more personal forms of art. Mind takes form in the city; and in turn, urban forms condition mind.”
—Lewis Mumford (1895–1990)
