So many charitable organizations are feeling the pinch of the pandemic. Some are faced with shutting down, others have had to furlough staff, and some continue to work through the constraints of sheltering in place but still provide necessary services that help those in need. This week, the ladies talk with Frank Conway. He splits his time between the Big Apple and the Desert Cities. Although he is currently in Palm Desert, he remains busy working on fund raising events with Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS and talks about the mission and events the organization produces from funds raised on both The Great White Way and from Broadway shows that tour the nation.
