    Goes VVirtual! 2021 Friday, March 12th From the President and CEO Dear Friends, I am delighted to welcome you to our first-ever virtual Broadway Belts for PFF! Thank you for joining us today as we celebrate the 11th anniversary of this blockbuster benefit for the Pulmonary Fibrosis Foundation (PFF). Although we wish we were celebrating in person at New York City’s Edison Ballroom, we are grateful to be connected virtually through the magic of Broadway Belts for PFF! The past year has presented tremendous challenges, but the PF community has remained united and focused on pushing toward a cure even amidst the coronavirus pandemic. Tonight’s virtual presentation of Broadway Belts for PFF! offers a unique opportunity for us to bring the best of Broadway to everyone in our community and beyond. Our extraordinary host, newly inducted PFF Board Member, actress and comedienne, Julie Halston, is the indefatigable force behind this event. Julie’s passion and devotion to all whose lives have been touched by PF is the reason that Broadway Belts for PFF! continues to be the Foundation’s single largest fundraiser. We are excited that tonight’s production has been created in partnership with Julie’s weekly YouTube sensation, Virtual Halston, which also benefits the PFF. Our heartfelt thanks to Julie, her co-host Jim Caruso, technical director Ruby Locknar, producer D. Michael Dvorchak, and the amazing cast of tonight’s program for donating their time and talent to our cause. Their spirit and song give us a rare opportunity to raise crucial funds and shine a spotlight on this devastating disease.
