The God Box project gives back. $400,000 and counting...
When Mary Lou wrote the book and the play, she wanted only one thing: to pay forward her mother's compassion, her father's care. So she has set out to create a movement of giving back through "The God Box" story. To date, she has raised over $500,000 for causes including cancer and hospice care, hospitals and health research and for women/family and community educational charities. Proceeds of performance ticket sales and books sold at her events go straight to causes that help families around the country. See the events page for a listing of her upcoming and past events.
Want to partner with us to stage “The God Box, A Daughter’s Story” in your community to help your favorite charity? Email Mary Lou at marylou@theGodBoxproject.com and let’s talk!
