Dick Clark’s New Year’s Rockin’ Eve will once again honor select organizations as Culture Catalysts during the show as Catalysts for Compassion – a driving theme for this year’s honorees with their dynamic and heart-led approach to the mental health and well-being of the folks and furry friends they support in the fight for resource equity. Culture Catalyst, which was introduced during last year’s 50th Anniversary broadcast event, aims to spotlight non-profit organizations for the transformative work that they do. This portion of the broadcast highlights and honors organizations led by individuals that reach up and outside of themselves to bravely inhabit the spirit of progress and that are making positive, culture-shifting waves in their communities and beyond.
Dick Clark’s New Year’s Rockin’ Eve with Ryan Seacrest will air Saturday, December 31st, live on ABC, beginning at 8 pm ET/PT.
