Founder and executive producer Sarah Galli created Born for Broadway in 2003 as a way to give back to her community after her brother Jeff suffered a spinal cord injury. Eleven years later, it has evolved from a student-run music revue into an annual cabaret that brings together established Broadway and television performers and emerging talent, including individuals with paralysis, to benefit paralysis-related causes.
All proceeds benefit Unite 2 Fight Paralysis, a nonprofit that supports international advocacy, education and spinal cord injury research.
