"Carols" is the latest fund-raising CD produced by Lynn Pinto to benefit BC/EFA. In a statement Pinto said, "This is the seventh year of 'Carols for a Cure' and we are so excited about the overwhelming responses by both the participating casts and the Broadway fans. It's a win-win situation for everyone. Broadway performers get to represent their show in fun and creative ways, fans look forward to hearing what their favorite performers have come up with, and the money goes to a great cause.
