Behind the Scenes: The Long Reach Long Riders (LRLR) celebrated their upcoming ride with a raffle and live auction benefiting Behind the Scenes during the USITT Stage Expo in Long Beach, California. Sales of raffle tickets and auction items raised $5,000 for the charity. The LRLR 2026 ride, dubbed “Backroads to the Brickyard”, begins June 19th in Athens, Ohio. Riders cover all their own expenses, ensuring that every dollar raised goes directly to Behind the Scenes.

Trips like these are such a good opportunity to feel like a part of a community. I love the idea of traveling with people I share a common interest with or even just a common industry with. I went on a road trip with some friends from home this past summer and I truly think that everyone should have a similar experience. Sight seeing is a much better experience when surrounded by potential friends. It is also good that this event is raising money for Behind the Scenes because mental health is so important in every industry, but especially in the entertainment industry. It is important that the workers who try so hard not to be seen by an audience feel able to be open and seen by others in their community. I personally struggle with mental health and am so happy that companies like this are dedicated to the physical and mental health of the community members.
