What's Going On at the Mission
Broadway Comes to Erie

Broadway by the Bay

Stay tuned for next year...

Broadway by the Bay's second annual event was a smashing success, raising over $290,000 for the Mission's work with women and mothers in Erie facing homelessness, addiction, poverty, and trafficking. Highlights included the first-ever Community Arts Luncheon, VIP dinners and Q&As with Ivan Rutherford and Jackie Burns, and an unforgettable evening performance featuring special guests from Cathedral Prep and Corella Productions. Every dollar raised goes directly toward supporting women in crisis and the Mission's vision of a dedicated facility for those in need.
