Proceeds will benefit the The William W. Backus Hospital’s Breast Health Initiative, a $3-million investment in breast health. Funds raised will support adding the latest in digital mammography technology; improving early detection and treatment of cancer, and providing a new program to help guide women with abnormal mammograms through the healthcare system.

The 88-year-old tap teacher will host the Broadway-themed show with talented tappers and young singer Nicolas King of Westerly. Ms. Neistat has been donating proceeds from her shows to cancer related charities for almost 30 years, and she estimates it has amounted to $90,000.
