Broadway Belts for PFF! raises money to fight pulmonary fibrosis (PF), a devastating and progressive disease involving scarring in the lungs. PF affects 200,000 Americans and results in more than 40,000 deaths annually. Broadway Belts for PFF! was created in 2010 by Broadway actor Julie Halston, whose husband, newscaster Ralph Howard, was diagnosed with pulmonary fibrosis a short time later and has received a lung transplant.

The event is directed by Carl Andress, with Christopher McGovern as musical director and Ed Windels as music coordinator. The benefit is produced for the eighth straight year by D. Michael Dvorchak, Sue Frost, Julie Halston, and Ed Windels.

Broadway Belts for PFF! is currently sold out.
