Gala for Rosie’s Theatre Kids raises $1.1 million

I know, lotsa Rosie news lately. I think she’s amazing so there you go.

Earlier this week, there was a gala to support Rosie’s Theater Kids.

Her charity raised $1.1 million in one night to support arts programs for underprivileged kids in New York City.

To date, Rosie’s Theater Kids has served 20,000 kids.

Rosie (pictured with honoree Cyndi Lauper), received a special Tony Award in June for her philanthropic efforts in the theatrical community.

Rosie’s eldest son Parker doesn’t like red carpet at ALL but he walked it with his mom and he said to her on stage: “This is your legacy and in a way it will be mine too.”

The audience let out a collective “aaaaawwwwww!!!!”
