David attended a cocktail party in support of the Actors Fund Special Campaign Responding to Essential and Evolving Needs on 11 November. As co-host for the evening, he made a bit of a speech:
“Many of us have heard the moving stories of people helped by The Actors Fund – people who are challenged to make ends meet because of unforeseen medical conditions, natural and human disasters, low wages, and expensive living costs. There are so many more stories we could share with you – stories of people securing affordable and supportive residences, finding free or low-cost medical care, obtaining financial assistance to make ends meet, and receiving counseling and crisis intervention. The Actors Fund ensures that those who dedicate themselves professionally to the arts have the support they need to continue their creative work. Personally, I have joined this effort to make sure my colleagues have the assistance they need during difficult times. The leadership of The Actors Fund has worked hard over the last few months to lay the groundwork, build the leadership team, and secure much-appreciated early support for a successful effort.”
