 Jesse, through The Dancers' Resource.
We recently sat down with New York City-based dancer and teacher Jesse Factor, who came to The Dancers' Resource after an injury in the fall of 2010. (Founded by Trustee Bebe Neuwirth, this unique program guides dancers through the financial and physical challenges they often face from a career in dance). Click here to watch a video of Jesse.

Five Questions for...
 Bebe Neuwirth
Our exciting Annual Gala is coming up on May 23, where we will honor Bebe Neuwirth, Al Pacino and Michael J. Stengel and Marriott International. We recently sat down with Bebe, a Tony and Emmy Award winning actress, 12-year trustee of The Fund and founder of The Dancers' Resource. Currently starring as Morticia Addams in The Addams Family—and as the lead salesperson of Morticia's Nails (the limited edition polish trio benefiting The Fund)—Bebe took some time out to answer our questions. Read the full interview.
