BTS Calls for Support During Holiday Season

A growing number of people have agreed with friends and family to make donations to charity rather than exchange holiday gifts. Now, companies are making the decision to contribute to charity rather than send out yet another gift package to say thank you to customers and employees. Behind the Scenes (BTS) is the charity formed to assist those in the entertainment technology industry, colleagues, employees, or customers in times of crisis. Visit http://plasa.me/eyzj1 to learn more about making a holiday donation.

Every time an order is place through AmazonSmile it can help Behind the Scenes -- at no additional cost. The user will find the exact same low prices and selection as Amazon.com, and Amazon will donate a portion of the purchase price to BTS. Go to http://smile.amazon.com/ch/38-3715781 or to smile.amazon.com and search for PLASA Foundation / Behind the Scenes. Millions of products are eligible for donations and are marked "Eligible for AmazonSmile donation" on their detail pages. Shoppers can use the same account on Amazon.com and AmazonSmile. Their shopping cart, wish list, and other settings are also the same. The AmazonSmile Foundation will donate 0.5% of the purchase price to BTS.

Behind the Scenes has introduced a new array of great BTS swag just in time for the holidays. A jacket, long sleeve fleeces, button down shirts, a new grey tie, and fleece hats (some hats also have the LRLR logo). And just for fun, there are jersey boxer shorts with "Front of House" on the front and yes -- "Behind the Scenes" on the back! They'll make great stocking stuffers since women like them too (to sleep in). There are also holiday cards, Christmas ornaments, corkscrews, and luggage grippers to always spot a bag. Visit http://behindthescenescharity.org/boutique to see what's available.

Behind the Scenes provides entertainment technology industry members who are ill or injured with grants that may be used for basic living and medical expenses. For more information about Behind the Scenes, to donate, or to apply for a grant, visit the URL below.
