ETC’s Donations to Behind the Scenes Reach a Major Milestone

Kate Foster and ETC’s employee owners present a check to BTS Chair Rick Rudolph and members of the BTS Board.

In June of 2009 ETC launched a new app that would expand lighting control by turning people’s Apple handhelds into miniature lighting controllers. From the very beginning, ETC decided that all profits from sales of the iRFR (Radio Focus Remote) and later the aRFR for Android apps would be donated to charity. On Friday at the 2023 USITT Show, ETC presented Behind the Scenes with a check for $39,599 bringing the total donated to the charity to over half a million dollars.Read More »ETC’s Donations to Behind the Scenes Reach a Major Milestone
