How to Succeed, Starring Daniel Radcliffe, Offers Benefit Performance for The Trevor Project

Daniel Radcliffe, who was awarded the 2011 Hero Award from The Trevor Project, is continuing his work with the charity. The star of How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying will lead a special benefit performance on October 6 at 7pm with a portion of every ticket sold going directly to The Trevor Project. The evening will also feature a post-show talkback with Radcliffe and the cast, as well as a post-show auction featuring autographed How to Succeed merchandise, with all proceeds from the auction going to the charity.

The Trevor Project is the leading national organization providing crisis intervention and suicide prevention services to LGBTQ youth. Every day, the organization saves young lives through its free and confidential lifeline, in-school workshops, educational materials, online resources and advocacy.
