WHAT WILL YOUR 2ND ACT LOOK LIKE?
2018 A 2nd Act Grant Recipients
What a night of celebration it was! Five amazing women and organizations were recognized for their commitment to give back to the greater good in their 2nd Acts! All of our fundraising allows us to make annual micro grants. When you’ve identified YOUR 2nd Act, money should not be a barrier to experience the magic healing in helping others!
2019 Phoenix Auditons for S.T.A.R.S.: Survivors Tell a Real Story!
A 2nd Act is raising the bar in storytelling! Each performance of S.T.A.R.S: Survivors Tell a Real Story is meant to inspire the audience to overcome their life challenges in the same way the cast has: by finding the treasure in the wreckage, and sharing that treasure with others. Auditions are January 26 & 27.
Change YOUR Question from Why Me? to What's Next!
The 2nd Act Workshops are not support groups – they’re the discovery of how your skills, passions and cancer experience uniquely qualify you for A 2nd Act. You’ll receive everything you need: a bound workbook, lots of inspiration and motivation, and a customized plan to create your 2nd Act. Check out our calendar for upcoming dates and locations!
