Who says theater can’t save the world? When you buy discounted Broadway tickets through Givenik.com, 5% of the ticket price goes to a charity you select from their comprehensive list. With a few simple clicks, you can feel like Daddy Warbucks and Mother Teresa all at the same time.
Beyond the obvious rush from doing good, there’s a lot to love about this online upstart; the website’s interface is clean, the actual transactions take place through the major ticketing agencies (so you can still pick your seats) and, best of all, Givenik features most of the same discount codes as other popular sites like Broadway Box. That’s up to 40% off full price (I sound like I’m on an infomercial now…but wait, there’s more!) all while helping great organizations like Broadway in South Africa, The Ali Forney Center and Central Park Conservancy.
Need a little star power to get involved? Givenik recently unveiled an Ambassador program featuring Broadway stars and the charities they support; Spider-Man Reeve Carney spoke out for The Partnership for the Homeless and The Book of Mormon‘s Rory O’Malley stood proud for Broadway Impact. After the jump, watch the legendary Joel Grey, currently on Broadway in Anything Goes, make a personal appeal for his choice, Friends in Deed.
