Hamilton Launches Pro-Choice Fundraiser Ham4Choice
The winner will get to hang out with Lin-Manuel Miranda at the musical’s opening night in Germany.
In partnership with Prizeo, Lin-Manuel Miranda‘s hit musical Hamilton launched Ham4Choice, a fundraiser in support of abortion access and additional reproductive health services.
Participants who donate $10 or more will be entered for to win a trip to see Hamilton in New York City, London, and Hamburg. The winner will attend the musical’s opening night in Hamburg October 6, kick back at a pre-show reception with Lin-Manuel Miranda, and receive an invite to the post-show celebration. They will then travel to London and New York, meeting cast members at both locations and taking home signed memorabilia. The prize covers show tickets, flights, and hotel accommodations.
Additional prizes are available at various donation levels, including a personalized video from Miranda, a framed poster signed by the Broadway company, autographed limited edition art prints, and more.
“We are devastated by the U.S. Supreme Court’s ruling eliminating the right to abortion which has been a right since 1973. In response, we are teaming up with organizations providing support, access, and travel expenses to those seeking these services,” reads a statement from Hamilton and Friends. We’re stronger when we work together. We can stand up for every person’s right to make decisions about their own body and their own lives.”
The fundraiser is part of the Ham4Progress community, run by a group of Hamilton cast members with the goal of highlighting social justice issues focused on education, civic engagement, racial justice, and gender equality. This latest initiative was created in response to the overturn of Roe v. Wade.
The fundraiser will support the following organizations: Abortion Support Network, ARC Southeast, Ciocia Basia, Deeds Not Words, Planned Parenthood, Profamilias Puerto Rico, The Brigid Alliance, The National Network of Abortion Fund, and The Tuscan Abortion Support Collective.
