Partial proceeds will benefit The Actors’ Fund. A registered charity and the lifeline for Canada’s entertainment industry. Over 10,000 professional members of the industry from all over Canada and in the fields of theatre, film & television, music and dance have been helped by the Fund, which provides emergency financial aid to assist cultural workers in recovering from an illness, injury or other circumstances causing severe economic and personal hardship.
