Be a Hero - Find $$$ There are now over 20,000 child actors who have money waiting for them at the Actors Fund. That's over $2 MILLION. You probably know a few of those kids! Be a hero and find their money for them by checking their name at http://www.unclaimedcoogan.org/benapp.cfm . Don't forget to check partial spellings, stage names and other oddities--sometimes that is why the money went missing.
Looking Ahead Activities The activities are FREE or low cost and are for young performers typically ages 9-18 (age range varies by activity). September and October activities include Bowling at Citywalk, a Leadership Retreat to the Beach/Bubba Gump and a college financial aid seminar. http://www.lookingaheadprogram.org/calendar.html
